Ride a National horse for charity

31 January 2002

Don’t miss your chance to ride former Grand National runner Brave Highlander and raise funds for the Bob Champion Cancer Trust’s research project

Have you ever wanted to ride a Grand National horse? Now is your chance to join celebrities such as Pippa Funnell and ride Brave Highlander, who was fourth in the 2000 running of the world-famous race.

Between April and October this year, Brave Highlander will be available for 2-3hr scenic rides in aid of the Bob Champion Cancer Trust. The rides have been organised to raise funding for a research team for the trust’s new research centre, which will focus on prostate and other urological cancers.

Riders who wish to jointhis fund-raising project need to raise at least £1,000 in sponsorship and can be joined on the ride by up to five family members and friends with their own horses.
