Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. 

On Wednesday the 7th March I am going to attempt to safely ride 1.5miles around Catterick Racecourse! Add in a few other 'Filles' to compete against and the competitive side comes out and I will in fact be attempting to win the Flying Fillies Race for Jack Berry House. 

Unlike most taking part I have never held a license and have only ridden in one Charity race at York in 2014. It was a great experience and I always said I'd love to do one again, so here I am! 

The legend that is Jack Berry has been the driving force in getting a rehabilitation centre in the North for years and now its been built for 3 years you'd think he'd take a rest from the fundraising. Not Jack. I'm fortunate enough to call Jack Berry House my place of work so see on a daily basis what the IJF and the  first class facilities, equipment (and staff) provides for past and present Jockeys.

The boots have been dusted off, I've started using the gym at work and even booked in a few equiciser sessions with Dad!!! Any donation, however big or small is much appreciated. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Thank you xx
