Mum has asked for no gifts to mark her big birthday so unbeknown to her we thought it would be nice to raise money for Saddleworth RDA, a charity which is close to her heart.

When she's not working at the residential home she's giving up her free time to support this charity to give those who have a range of difficulties experience the same pleasure horse riding has given her for many years.

If you can afford a small donation to help this fantastic charity keep doing the amazing work they do to make people's lives better it would be gratefully appreciated by my mum and everyone at the RDA.

As we hit the £250 target, I’ve upped it to £500! Let’s hope we can hit this one
