Horsing Around for Charity

Trycare sponsor a team of local horse riders that raised over £1,100 for Cancer Research as part of the national "Ride For Research" Campaign

This campaign was set up to help cancer patient Karen Lane raise money for the Peter Andre cancer fund. Karen Lane, who lives in London, has been fighting bowel, liver and now lung cancer.

In total, the nationwide “Ride For Research” event which took part on Saturday 20th August, raised £71,452.

Trycare employee Joanne Hurrell, organised a team of riders to take part in the ride and Trycare were happy to be able to support her in this event. The team, named “The Pink Stampede" rode an 11km ride around the Bradford & Halifax area, and they also came 3rd in the nationwide competition for the largest ride, with a staggering 26 riders.

Joanne said “It was a fantastic day and couldn’t have made it happen without the help of family and friends who controlled the traffic whilst our huge ride passed through. It was great to be able to do something I love and also raise money for charity at the same time. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to making the day a great success and to everyone who helped with the fundraising, which included a generous donation from Trycare”.
