I’m Triona Burbage and I’m from Portarlington in Co Laois.

I have always been involved in horses from a very young age and am now part of the Jarlath Fahey Racing Team.

Not one to turn down a challenge, I am

delighted to take on the Pat Smullen

Charity Race at the Curragh Racecourse on 31st August .

I am no stranger to fundraising through these events as I have previously raised over €12,000 for both the Irish Injured Jockeys and The Punchestown Kidney Research fund

This year, I'm raising money to benefit Cancer Trials Ireland CLG.

Cancer Trials Ireland CLG aims

to be an indispensable all-Ireland hub for cancer trials, globally recognised for excellence in governance, collaboration and innovation in clinical research.

Any donation no matter how

big or small will help make an impact and I appreciate your contribution to a very worthy cause.

Thank you
