Ride of Their Lives , 15 June 2024
Macmillan and York Racecourse have partnered together for 52 years to help support people living with cancer through a number of activities that have raised millions of pounds

Story

The Macmillan Charity Raceday is the oldest and largest event of its kind in the country, raising over £10 million in its 52 year history for people living with cancer.

Held every June, the highlight of the day is the Macmillan Ride of Their Lives race that sees 12 amateur jockeys ride down the famous Knavesmire course. Each year 25,000 spectators enjoy a day with us to cheer these brave riders on as they take on the challenge of their lifetime.

I am lucky enough to have been selected to ride in this years race, and my goal is to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan in return for this privilege.

Please help support this worthy charity by donating what you can 😊. If you ALL donate SOMETHING, it will go a huge way to the riders reaching their target and hopefully exceeding it.

Nearly all of us know someone, or are someone who has been affected by cancer. The work that the Macmillan charity does, helps not only cancer sufferers but the loved ones whose lives are also impacted. Every penny will go towards the many valued services they offer people to cope with the direct and indirect impact of cancer. Please dig deep, it will be gratefully appreciated 🙏🏻.

Thank you in advance!
