April this year Henry, aged 4 and his trusted Shetlands participated in the Canter for a Cure Challenge. The aim was to ride 50k throughout the month of April to support the Bone Cancer Research Trust.
The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only Charity dedicated to this disease. They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated and trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones. They rely 100% on people supporting their work through donations. Every 10 minutes somewhere another child, teenager or adult is diagnosed with this brutal disease and they face a 5-year chance of survival at little over 50%. This drops even further if the disease is discovered late and has already progressed.
Henrys mum read about the Canter for a Cure Challenge thought this would be a great way to support a fantastic Charity whilst also getting Henry and the Shetlands out and about.
The challenge was explained to Henry he was soon eager to start covering some miles to ‘raise money to help some poorly people’ Henry and his Shetlands Darklake Pirate and Darklake Dior exceeded their 50k target finishing the challenge on 53.2k and raised over £500 for the charity!
An amazing achievement for Henry and his Shetland’s! Well done team!
