Wow. What a week.
With thanks to our army of volunteers and supporters, Hannah’s story was shared to thousands of people and our quest to kick cancers butt moved ever closer. Olympia really is a magical place close to our hearts.
Willberry couldn’t quite believe his eyes when he had a sneak peak of the showjumping and spotted himself in the arena! We’re not sure about you, but we reckon he doesn’t look half bad as a show jump.
Where will he be jumping next?!

WOW WOW WOW.
We're not really sure what else to say other than the biggest of thank you's. Without you incredible supporters who have been right next to Hannah from her very first Instagram post this wouldn't have been possible. It is you all who kept Hannah's fight so strong, and it is your continual support that allows us to keep her legacy bright, to tap into her determination as we keep #kickingcancersbutt.
With PhD applications closing soon and Willberry busy planning his Wishes, next year is sure to be exciting. So lets dream big, fight hard and never give up - onto the next million hey?
From the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you. We will do everything we can to make sure that every single pence is spent in the best way possible.
With Olympia creeping ever closer the 'dream-team' of Tedberry, Mintberry, Doris, Teddy the Shetland and of course the one and only Willberry rose bright and early for a day of press.
|
They met with the Mounted Police unit of the Metropolitan Police Force at 8.30am so that our Very Important Ponies could be escorted down the Mall by police horses Merlin and Quixote. Thanks to a few tips from Teddy, Doris had soon worked out her best angles. With a mane flick here and there, our supermodel shetlands had the army of press very busy clicking away. |

Willberry had to take a big breath before going to speak to the BBC about his best friends charity, but was so proud to be able to share with thousands of people quite how incredible Hannah is (read Hannah's story here). Not to mention being able to explain how he's using the support to keep #kickingcancersbutt and grant his Willberry Wishes as well as share his excitement about his Christmas trip to Olympia. After the serious job was out the way those ponies were hard to control. They blagged into being shown the stables at Great Scotland Yard, being doorman at The Goring, popped over to see Buckingham Palace, and no trip to London is complete without a ride on a double decker bus. |
| The trip to London has made the team so excited to be heading back there in a months time for Olympia International Horse Show, and to be the Official Charity is just incredible. Willberry is going to be a very busy berry, who knows, he may need a helping hoof or two... |  |
|
North East Fife Riding Club Fundraisers choose a charity each summer to raise funds for and we’re very grateful that this year chose us. £250.00 was raised which is just fantastic. |
Eastington Horse Show has been running for a staggering 80yrs and this time they kindly donated £50 to us. Thank you. |
 |
Rachel Thomas donned her running shoes for Willberry and trotted round Chester's 26.2mile track with Baddersberry whispering (or perhaps shouting) motivation every step of the way. If that wasn't enough of an achievement she also raised a brilliant £250. Thank you. |
| Leanne meanwhile has her huge brave pants on, leaping into the air doing a bungee jump for us, ekkk! Perhaps her Berry should be renamed Flyingberry? Her madness was rewarded by raising a staggering £1065. |  |
 |
Jade Parsons organised a tack sale and through donations for entry and money for yummy refreshments £179.57 was raised to keep #kickingcancersbutt. |
| Olivia decided a saddle was no longer a necessity and raised a cracking £100 for taking part in some bareback jumping. |  |
 |
Equine Rebalance Centre at Wellington Riding did a talk on the water treadmill and Bowen therapy for the Winchester Riding Club. Tonia, the manager of the centre, kindly suggested a donation of £10 pp raising a brilliant £140 to help us with our goal. |
