Story

On August 29th  2020  I plan to ride 20 horses for 20 minutes each inside 12 hours - this is my 4th go at doing this. I have twice said never again but here I go again...

Why?     To raise money with your help for Spinal Research - having come so close to paralysis  after my fall in 2011 I wanted to fund raise for them again.When I did this Challenge in 2009, 2012 and 2017 I was much  younger! And now I am 63....I think I can manage the riding but anyone who has seen me getting off horses recently will know I am struggling a bit!

I raised over £1700 in 2009,  £2400 in 2012 and over £3400 in 2017 when I turned 60. This time I'm aiming for £2020 to round it off - but it would be great if I raised over £3000 to take my grand total to £10k.


Spinal Research are funding research into the causes of paralysis and what can be done - if you've ever thought either 'that could have been me' or even ' Wendy must be mad riding again after all that' then please dig deep and donate
