🎉🏃‍♀️ RUNNING FOR RIDERS MANCHESTER HALF MARATHON! 🐴💚

Exciting news! One of our amazing supporters Heather is taking on the Manchester Half Marathon that’s 13.1 miles of sheer determination all to raise funds for Crosby RDA! 🏅

Why? Because at Crosby RDA, we help people with disabilities experience freedom, joy and confidence through horse riding. 🐎✨

And here’s the bit that matters most: we’re entirely funded by donations. No government funding, no magic money tree just generous, kind-hearted people who believe in the power of horses to change lives. 💞

Your support keeps our ponies happy, our tack safe, and our sessions running for the people who need them most. From £2 to £20 every little gallops a long way. 🐴❤️

Let’s rally behind our half marathon hero and help them smash their fundraising goal! 💪

📣 Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/heather-evans-3?utm_medium=CR&utm_source=CL

Together, we can turn 13.1 miles into a whole lot of smiles. 😄🐎

Iʼm raising money to Run for Crosby RDA (riding for the disabled). Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
