I am raising money via producing my Novice Chasers/Handicap chasers to follow for the 23/24 National Hunt Season.

The Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) was founded in 1964 following the devastating accidents to Tim Brookshaw, and then Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National. Both falls resulted in severe paralysis which immediately ended both their careers. Since then the Fund has helped thousands of jockeys and their families and has paid out more than £20m in charitable assistance.
