On Saturday 26th November the Duchess of Beaufort presented a cheque for £5,500 to Horses Help Heroes. The money was raised from the Badminton Sponsored Ride that takes place each September on the Badminton Estate and raises many thousands of pounds for charity. Many members and supporters of the Beaufort Hunt volunteer each year to help run and steward and take part in the Badminton Ride.
For information Horses Help Heroes earlier in the summer completed the challenge of driving a horse drawn replica World War 1 Ambulance from Lands End to John o` Groat`s to raise money for Help for Heroes to distribute to various service charities such as BLESMA (British limbless ex service personnel), Combat Stress and the Soldiers Charity, the ABF to help our wounded service personnel, in particular those returning from the current conflict in Afghanistan.
The cheque was received by paramedic Jackie El Tawil, who drove the ambulance much of the way and Dr Francis Atkinson of 16 Medical Regt, RAMC, who was also a member of the team and was himself wounded in Afghanistan.
