Half Marathon in aid of The Injured Jockeys Fund

On Thursday 8th July 2010 Emma Santer, Racecourse Manager at Folkestone, ran a half marathon around the inside track of Folkestone Racecourse on a race day before racing. (Just over 11 laps of the track.)

Jockeys risk their lives every day and The Injured Jockeys Fund is such an important charity to those who have been injured.

For over 44 years, The Injured Jockeys Fund has provided medical, financial and pastoral care, to jockeys (their spouses, or dependants) who have suffered through injury. There is no time or financial limit to this care which is there for as long as is necessary. Fortunately not all cases are of the severest nature, however in some instances injuries have been catastrophic, changing a jockeys life forever.
The Fund responds quickly to all cases where help is required. Last year, they provided help to over 500 injured jockeys of which 35 were new cases. Individual circumstances tend to be quite different and so require varying levels and types of support, but whatever the need, the IJF will always ensure the closest of care and attention.

Please help raise as much money as possible to help fund this very important charity.
