Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. On 21st August 2026, I will embark on an incredible personal journey: trekking the famous high mountain La Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt over 10 challenging days. This expedition is not only a test of endurance but also a heartfelt mission to support the Honourable Artillery Company, Light Cavalry Squadron.

The HAC is a registered charity and its objectives include support to the Company's ceremonial sub-units, including the HAC Light Cavalry. The latter, established in 1861, has a proud history as a battlefield reconnaissance unit. Today, the ceremonial Light Cavalry, reformed in 1979, plays a vital role in preserving military tradition and equitation activities. However, to continue this important work effectively, we urgently need your help to raise funds towards purchasing a horse that will be trained and cared for by this non-profit voluntary organisation.

By contributing to this cause, you are directly helping preserve an invaluable heritage and ensuring these magnificent horses receive the care and support they deserve. I am committed to match funding every donation made through this page, doubling the impact of your generosity.

Donating via JustGiving is simple, secure, and efficient — your gift goes straight to the charity. Together, we can reach our target of £5,000 and make a lasting difference.

Please join me on this inspiring journey by donating today. Your support means everything and brings us one step closer to achieving this goal.
