I think the majority of people who know me know that I participate in long distance walking events. I've done several over the last few years including the Sahara Desert! Well, the organisation that I book my walks through went and launched a new 100km event this year and it didn't take much for me to sign up! So, in two weeks time I'll be walking 100km continuously, through the night in the beautiful Gower Peninsular. I have done very little walking this year in readiness for this; a 50km in Bath at the end of March and a 36km around Oxford in June so I'm a little out of practice!

I decided at the last minute to raise some much needed funds for a Charity very close to my heart, whom again, most of you know is a big part of my life. About 18 months ago, myself and five friends had a bit of a dream to set up our own Riding for the Disabled Group. After much hard work, that dream became a reality and we have just celebrated our first birthday! Here's a bit about our Charity:

Aim RDA is run by a group of volunteers who are passionate about the potential of RDA and the people who need it. With more than forty years of combined experience prior to Aim RDA’s foundation, we have an excellent understanding of our parent organisation and where our own vision fits within its future.

RDAUK’s motto is “it’s what you can do that counts”. We want to support disabled participants to pursue what really “makes it count” for each individual. Achievement within disability sport can take many forms: from improving confidence, mobility and mental well-being, to achieving personal bests in national or international competition. Aim RDA seeks to understand every participant and what they want to achieve through their relationship with the Riding for the Disabled movement.

If you are able to give any amount it would enable us to keep providing wonderful opportunities for our participants. Thank you very much ❤️
