I am doing this challenge because life is far too short.  Around the start of 2001, I was told, after sustaining injuries to my legs, that I wouldnt ride again and I would never walk properly.  Well since then I have walked up 4 active volcanoes, got back on a horse and this year competed at the Commonwealth Fly Fishing games where I had to wade and fish in the Diable River in Canada. 

Last year my step father, who was inspirational and made every effort to live a life full of adventures, lost the battle against cancer.  I have always wanted to go eventing.  I never had the real motivation to do it, nor the support, and now I have both.  So I had better kick on and get going. 

Even if you cant afford more than a pound, every little helps.
