Charities
I am delighted to be supporting “Right to Play” and "The Wobbleberries Challenge" as my chosen charities. Charity is close to my heart. I feel I have been very fortunate in life and I am delighted to be able to give something back!
Right To Play
Right To Play is a global organization, using the transformative power of play to educate and empower children and youth facing adversity. Through playing sports and games, Right To Play teaches children essential life skills that help them overcome the effects of poverty, conflict and disease so they can create better futures and drive lasting social change in their communities and beyond.
The Wobbleberries Challenge
Earlier this year four, self-confessed, middle-aged ‘wobbly’ riders came together with an idea that captured the imagination of the eventing community and one that has so far raised over £100,000 for Hannah Francis’ Willberry Wonder Pony charity
The Wobbleberries Challenge is aimed at eventing enthusiasts rarely seen in the saddle but usually found on the side-lines cheering others on. Instead they have committed to challenge themselves to take part in a British Eventing BE80(T) event in 2017 and raise lots of money along the way.
The Wobbleberry Challenge is not a charity in its own right, but linked to, and working with, Willberry Wonder Pony charity. Every penny raised goes to the charity to fund bone cancer research and grant wishes of an equine nature to seriously ill young people and their families (Willberry’s Wishes)
The Wobbleberry Challenge and Willberry Wonderpony charity have joined together to create a clothing range and Hannah’s Grandmother has joined the challenge herself.
