In 2016 I joined Charlie Longsdon Racing after I sold my horse and my career in eventing came to an end. I was looking for another sport to do around work to fill my time. It was Charlie’s Conditional Jockey at the time that got me thinking about cycling. In no time I had bought my first road bike a cheap as chips second hand set of wheels and I was hooked!!

This will be my biggest challenge on the bike to date cycling 500 miles in 5 days will be tough but so rewarding and I couldn’t think of a better organisation to be doing it for. Racing welfare are an amazing organisation giving support to everyone working within the thoroughbred industry, whether that’s in the racing yards themselves or working on the breeding side in the stud farms around the country.

Racing welfare have been there for me personally in the past helping me through some really tough times. I would highly recommend anyone in racing that is finding life difficult whether it’s in work or in your personal life to contact this amazing organisation, they are only ever a phone call away.
