Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Please give if you can - Erme Valley RDA depends completely on fundraising and donations.

We three novices are cycling from John O Groats to Land's End, setting off on 29th April and finishing, all being well, on 11th May. We're carrying all our own kit and camping along the way - it's going to be long, hard, and hopefully a great adventure. The planned route is just over 1,000 miles and takes in Ben Nevis, The Lake District, Ironbridge, Ross-on-Wye, Cheddar Gorge, and the North Devon and Cornwall coast. So a £10 donation is sponsoring us at 1p per mile!

Erme Valley RDA (horse riding therapy for the disabled) has had a "miraculous" therapeutic effect on Mark's son BIll (that's the term used by Bill's orthopaedic consultant). Bill has Perthes, an unexplainable hip condition, and riding at Erme Valley has helped Bill so much over the last few years to be able to stay mobile and lead a normal life. 

But much more than that, we've seen what a life-affirming charity it is, run by amazing people, and so valuable to the riders and their families - a small charity making a real difference. Here's a video to give you a good summary, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGUoPgvXMI

Bill in particular would like to thank you for helping Erme Valley RDA.
