My name is Katie, I'm supporting the next generation of British athletes by taking part in SportsAid Week 2021 #mymiles challenge! 

I am setting myself a target to walk 45miles twice for sports aid week. That's 90miles in total, approx 35,000 steps a day. 

I am a para dressage rider. To summarise my disability, I suffer from cerebral palsy dyspraxia and short term memory loss. The support from charities like sports aid is invaluable as I work towards my goal of getting to the Olympics. 

I would very much appreciate your support and donations towards the Sports aid week target of £45,000. This is to celebrate 45 years of the charity. 

Anything you can spare 45p, £4.50, £14.50... you get the gist :-) ...would be amazing and I thank you very much in advance. 

I will keep you up-to-date with my progress and introduce you to my horses, who will keep me stepping!!

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen Britain's most talented young athletes presented with challenges and obstacles they never thought they'd face. Training facilities have been placed under severe constraints, competition calendars cancelled, schooling and exams thrown into doubt. Yet, despite all this uncertainty, their drive, determination and adaptability has shone through. Their future ambitions have not wavered. And now, more than ever, they need your help to keep moving forward as restrictions are eased.
