About the charity : cancerresearchuk_logo_large.gif
Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. We support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 3,000 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments. But, much work remains to be done if we are to achieve our aim of beating cancer.

I think this is a great idea and I wish
Grant Nicolle and his horse a 16.1hh 10yr old Clydesdale X called Marv...every success and a safe and enjoyable trip !!
11000 miles !! :eek: :eek: :eek: (

(
Then there was the horse trainer who told riders that the hardest part about learning to ride was the ground)

I'm going to send him an email to tell him about this thread on MSE
and I hope lots of you will give him some support in his effort to raise money for charity !! :cool: :heart: :money:
:heart: :cool:
Q) What does it mean if you find a horse shoe?
A) Some poor horse is walking around in his socks.
