On May 15th, Claudia will join her hero, Bob Champion, who won the Grand National  40 years ago on Aldaniti. Bob and Claudia will both ride up the gallops for the last mile of Bob's epic 191 mile walk. This last mile is significant as it is where the great Aldaniti was trained at Findon in Sussex. They will wear replicas of Bob's winning silks in the form of baselayers which will then be autographed after their ride up the gallops, and these will then be raffled off to those who have donated. For every £5 donated, a raffle ticket will be given to the donator. For every £10, 2 raffle tickets and so on. Please support their ride up the gallops and donate to the Trust that Bob set up to help so many others.

Bob writes, "My story 40 years ago gave hope to people around the world fighting cancer. I have dedicated my life to the cause and hope that people will be generous once again and support me on my anniversary walk. I want to do this challenge for the amazing work of the scientists and clinicians the Trust supports and to help find a cure for this indiscriminate disease.

Starting from the hallowed turf of Aintree on 11th April I'm going to walk the distance of 191 miles, representing the 191 days between my cancer diagnosis and being given the all clear, by way of individual walks at relevant stops on route finishing at Findon, Aldaniti's racing home, on 15th May. 

I'm really looking forward to this event. I've been walking everyday during lockdown to get fit so I'm ready to get going. I'm aiming, with the support of our wonderful sponsor Wasdell Group, to raise much needed funds for our cancer research programmes."
