Donations cannot currently be made to this page

The Great Glen Way (long distance walk) · 13 August 2021

Its prime purpose is to provide appropriate help, medical, financial and otherwise, to current and retired jockeys who are injured, unable to ride or in need.

Story

As some of you are aware , our son Aidan MacDonald, a conditional jockey with Micky Hammond , suffered  a stroke due to a Carotid Artery Dissection  on 31st march  2021 after a nasty fall at Hexham  race course  two weeks earlier .

The care and support Aidan has received from  not only the doctors and physios , but all at the  IJF has been second to none.

In a bid to say thank you to all concerned at the IJF , we are taking on the challenge of The Great Glen Way, a coast to coast walk from Fort William in the west of Scotland to Inverness in the east, starting on the 13th August 2021  with a duration of 5/6 days.  Just to make things exciting, (and harder) not only are we walking  , but we are wild camping along the way,  carrying with us  our tent ,clothing and  supplies .

We are both looking forward to not only  the the challenge and  making memories ,but hopefully with the support and donations from our  friends and all those who enjoy the sport of horse racing, help us raise as much as we can for this very worthy charity.

Any donation , large or small, will be greatly appreciated  for this worthy charity ..The Injured Jockeys Fund..

Updates  will be on our face book page as we walk ....
