My Story
This year I am taking on my first ever marathon, to raise money for MacIntyre, a charity who provide learning, support and care for more than 1,200 children, young people and adults who have a learning disability and/or autism in the UK.
Training for my first marathon alongside my full-time job of training racehorses is going to be extremely difficult! I would hugely appreciate any donations towards a great cause!

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.
Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.
What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
