Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am delighted to have the chance to take part in the Keagan Kirkby Stable Staff Charity Race at Wincanton Racecourse on the 26th October 2025 to raise funds for Horatio's Garden, a vital charity to provide incredible gardens at specialist spinal injury centres.
I am now in my 7th season working for Paul Nicholls and Keagan was a close friend, it is amazing to be able to take part in a race in his memory.
A little bit about this amazing charity.....
At Horatio’s Garden we know that people with spinal injuries need natural beauty to support their recovery. This is why we build and look after extraordinary gardens in the heart of NHS spinal injury centres.
Spinal injury can happen to anyone at any time. The results are life-changing and devastating. On average, people spend between three to nine months in a specialist spinal injury centre, often far from home.
We know how critical it is to have an incredible garden on offer right outside the hospital ward as a transformational part of the rehabilitation pathway. These are places for reflection and adjustment, privacy and solace, joy and companionship. We lead gardening sessions, run arts workshops, and offer a programme of live music and events – all year round.
We have now opened gardens in eight of the 11 NHS spinal injury centres in the UK. Our vision is for everyone with a spinal injury to have a Horatio’s Garden as part of their rehabilitation care.
