Oliver's fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support

Oliver Parker is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support

MacMillan x York Racecourse Ride of Their Lives · 13 June 2026

Twelve amateur jockeys will take part in the Ernest Cooper Macmillan Ride of their Lives 2026 on Saturday 13 June 2025 at York Racecourse.

Story

In 2026, I’ll be taking on something new and challenging — training as a jockey and riding in the Macmillan Ride of Their Lives at York Racecourse, all to raise vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Cancer affects so many of us — our friends, our families, and the people we love. Macmillan nurses, information centres, and support services make a life-changing difference at the most challenging moments in people’s lives. They rely on fundraising to keep doing what they do.

This challenge isn’t just a race. It’s months of early mornings, fitness training, riding out in all weather, learning the craft from the professionals, and most importantly, fundraising! The money raised will help Macmillan continue the incredible work they do supporting people living with cancer and their families.

My target is £6,000, and your support means the world. Whether it's £5, £50, or simply sharing this page, every single contribution genuinely helps someone who needs Macmillan right now.

Thank you so much for supporting me, backing Macmillan, and helping make every mile of the journey count. I'll be hosting various fundraising events throughout the year, so look forward to seeing you at them!
