I am taking on 100k in June to raise money for Day One Trauma Support! 🧡

I’m taking part in Day One’s 100k in June and would be incredibly grateful for any support and donations, no matter how small, every little will help!

Day One are the only national charity to provide personalised care to anyone affected by any kind of catastrophic injury, their loved ones and their families – for as long it takes.

Horse Riding is a high-risk sport – especially Eventing. I’ve had my fair share of falls, concussions, broken bones, and the occasional hospital visit, but have been incredibly fortunate for them to all have been relatively minor.

Raising money and supporting such a fantastic charity as Day One, who help people who haven’t had my level of luck, is something I’m really proud to do.

Reading the stories of recovery and hope from people who Day One have worked alongside, was not only eye opening, but pretty heart wrenching.

In the world of MedTech, we generally focus on fixing a patient’s body, the physical complaints, but it is SO important to not forget about the psychological impact following a traumatic event – on the patient, their families, and their friends.

Sure, you can patch someone up - plates, pins, screws etc. – and get them back out into the world, but that’s only half of the battle. Having the support of a dedicated person who can be there to help you get used to a new normal, offer advice, and support the healing process, whatever that might look like, is invaluable.  

I will be tackling the challenge, alongside Maple the dog, and my wonderful horse Peggy - who has assured me she’ll help with some of the kilometers along the way (I promise it’s not cheating!) and hope I can smash my fundraising target with your help!

Let’s GOOOOOO!
