I am taking part in the 'Graham Lee Fund Stable Staff Stakes' Charity Race at Thirsk on Sunday 16th June. This race is raising funds for the Injured jockeys Fund aiding Graham Lee & his family following his career ending accident in November 2023

I have worked in the thoroughbred industry for nearly forty years - working in New Zealand, Australia and Japan before returning to the UK where I rode out for Mark Johnston for 16 years whilst my children grew up. For the last 11 years I have worked full time for Karl Burke, riding and in the office and it's been great to see Karl's ever growing success. I am so grateful to Karl and to Tele Red's owners for making it possible to be able to take part in a race. So exciting! My heart goes out to Graham Lee and his family and I am very happy to be able to hopefully raise this money for them. I wish them the very best.

I would like to ask you to sponsor me to help raise funds to reach and surpass my target and thank everyone involved for their support in helping me take part in the race.
