<div>SUPPORT JENNIE DURRANS IN THE AUTISM IN RACING FUNDRAISING RACE
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help Me Raise £3,000 for Autism In Racing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 28th October 2026, I'll be taking part in the Autism In Racing Fundraising Race at Nottingham Racecourse, raising vital funds for Autism In Racing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Jennie Durrans, I'm 42 years old and I've dedicated the last 27 years of my life to the racing industry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My career began in Newmarket, where I spent 12 years working with James Fanshawe, William Haggas, Newmarket Racecourses and the British Racing School. In 2017, I returned home to North Yorkshire, working with Philip Kirby and Micky Hammond, before moving to Seahouses in 2021 to train racehorses alongside my partner, Adam Nicol.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, we've worked incredibly hard to build our yard, growing from just four horses to a team of over thirty and enjoying our most successful season to date in 2025/26.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Away from racing, I also have two retired racehorses, Lady Buttons, who enjoyed an outstanding showing career after racing, and her best friend Suggestion, who continues to be a star in every sense.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I'm Supporting Autism In Racing</strong>
</div>
<div>I'm incredibly proud to be taking part in this fundraising race because Autism In Racing is making a genuine difference to so many people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A close friend of mine has a young autistic son, and seeing the love, commitment and dedication shown by him, his family and everyone supporting autistic people has been truly inspiring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Watching Autism In Racing create welcoming racecourse environments and opportunities for autistic people to enjoy the sport has shown just how important their work is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm honoured to support such a wonderful cause while also fulfilling a lifelong dream of riding in a race.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>About Autism In Racing</strong>
</div>
<div>Autism In Racing works with racecourses, trainers, industry partners and families to make horseracing more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for autistic and neurodivergent people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through autism-friendly racedays, mentoring programmes, community initiatives and education across the industry, the charity is helping remove barriers and create meaningful opportunities for people to enjoy and build careers within racing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through the Autism In Racing Fundraising Race at Nottingham Racecourse on 28th October 2026 will help Autism In Racing continue expanding these programmes and supporting even more autistic people and their families.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>My goal is to raise £3,000 to support Autism In Racing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help the charity continue creating more inclusive opportunities, supporting autistic people and ensuring racing is a sport where everyone feels welcome.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your generosity and support. It really does mean a great deal, and I hope you'll join me in supporting this fantastic cause.

 Help Me Raise £3,000 for Autism In Racing
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 On 28th October 2026, I’ll be taking part in the Autism In Racing Fundraising Race at Nottingham Racecourse, with a target of raising £3,000 for Autism In Racing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I’m George Bartlett, I’m 27 and I work full-time as a three-day event rider, based at Caunton Manor Stud.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Horses and sport in general have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Having not come from a horsey background, I was very fortunate to have someone give me a leg up and the opportunity to get into the equine industry – quite literally, in more ways than one!
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 That opportunity has shaped my life and career, and I feel incredibly lucky to now work in a sport I’m so passionate about.
</div>
<div>
 Why I’m Supporting Autism In Racing
</div>
<div>
 That’s one of the reasons I’m particularly pleased to support Autism In Racing.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The organisation is working to make racing more accessible and inclusive for autistic and neurodivergent people and their families, creating enjoyable experiences at the races and helping families have a great day out together.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 It also does hugely important work helping autistic and neurodivergent people pursue careers within the racing industry through mentoring, education and workplace support.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Having been given my own opportunity to find my way into the equine world, it means a lot to support an organisation that is helping create those opportunities for others and working towards an industry where everyone can find their place and thrive.

George Bartlett's Autism In Racing Fundraising Race

<div>I am running a half marathon on Sunday 18th October in Milton Keynes to raise funds to support two fantastic causes, Newmarket RUFC and Autism in Racing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money raised will help provide essential equipment for Newmarket RUFC, ensuring players have access to the resources they need to train, play and enjoy the game.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It will also support Autism in Racing who aim to help people with autism; adults as well as children, to take part in social and supporting activities linked to the national horse racing sport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>AIR provide sensory rooms and quiet rooms at racecourses with trained hosts who understand your needs and can support you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is a calm environment and sensory space with specialist care available for people who find a day at the races can get get a bit too noisy and crowded so they can take time-out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in promoting opportunity, inclusion, and community. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity and for helping us make both rugby and racing more accessible for all.

<div><strong>The Great Big Ride for Autism in Racing</strong>


</div>


<div>Ride on 27th June. Donate £10. Double your impact.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>On 27th June, we’re inviting the racing community and beyond to come together for the Great Big Ride in support of Autism in Racing.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>You don’t need a horse to take part. You can get involved on horseback, by bike, on foot, or in whatever way works for you. This is about participation, visibility, and coming together to support a more inclusive future for racing.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Double Your Impact</strong>


</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/102774405_1778051039893359_r.png" width="100%" />


<div>We are proud to have the support of Dragonbet, who are matching all donations up to £5,000.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Every contribution will go twice as far. A £10 donation becomes £20, and collectively, that has the power to create meaningful change.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>We are encouraging a £10 donation per ride, but every contribution, whatever the amount, makes a difference. Giving now, while match funding is in place, is the most powerful way to support the campaign.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Join the Great Big Ride</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The Great Big Ride is open to everyone. Whether you are part of a racing yard, a team, a family, or simply want to take part individually, you can be involved.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Bring people together, organise something locally, and encourage others to join you. Trainers, jockeys, colleagues, friends and supporters from all walks of life can all play a part.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>You might choose to ride, walk or cycle. You might take part quietly or as part of a larger group. However you do it, every mile helps raise awareness and every donation helps drive real change.


</div>

</div>


<div><strong>Hi, my name is Jane Buick.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Racing has always been such a big part of our lives, but becoming parents to Thomas gave us a completely different perspective on how the world is experienced.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><br />


</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/102774405_1778051257277361_r.jpg" width="100%" />


<div><br />


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Like many families, we have learned that environments we might once have taken for granted can feel very different through a neurodivergent lens. Busy, noisy and unpredictable spaces can be overwhelming, even when there is a real love for being there.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>That is why the work of Autism in Racing resonates so strongly with us.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>They are not trying to change racing. They are making it more accessible. Creating calm spaces, providing understanding, and making sure families feel supported means more people can be part of something they love, in a way that works for them.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The Great Big Ride is a simple but powerful way to support that work. Whether you are riding, walking or cycling, you are helping to create more inclusive experiences for families like ours.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>If you can, please take part and donate. With match funding in place, every contribution will go even further.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Why this matters</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Autism in Racing is a UK Community Interest Company working to make horseracing more inclusive for autistic and neurodivergent people.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>For many families, attending a racecourse can feel overwhelming due to noise, crowds and unpredictability. Through autism-friendly racedays, Autism in Racing provides calm sensory spaces, quiet areas, clear information, and trained hosts who understand neurodiversity.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The impact is significant. Many families attend a racecourse for the very first time through this support, and the majority say they would not attend without it.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Where your donation goes</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Each autism-friendly raceday costs around £2,000 to deliver. While racecourses contribute, Autism in Racing fundraises the remaining balance to ensure these days can continue.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Donations support sensory provision, safe and quiet spaces, trained hosts, and resources that reduce anxiety and improve access. With match funding in place, every contribution has twice the impact.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Be Part of It</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>The Great Big Ride is about bringing people together. Across racing and beyond. United by a shared goal to make the sport more inclusive and accessible.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Take part on 27th June, support the campaign, and help us continue opening the doors of racing to those who need it most.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Donate today</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>If you’re taking part, please make your £10 per ride donation. If you’re supporting, your contribution is just as important.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>All donations will be matched by Dragonbet up to £5,000.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>That is why the work of Autism in Racing resonates so strongly with us.


</div>

The Great Big Ride

<div>Two years ago our lovely Bex was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy followed by systemic anti-cancer therapy, but sadly in May this year discovered that the disease has spread to her bones. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When breast cancer spreads to the bones, it can be treated and managed, but sadly it isn’t something that can be cured. Bex is currently receiving ongoing treatment aimed at keeping the cancer under control, slowing its progression, and helping her live as well as possible for as long as possible. This includes treatment every two weeks to strengthen her bones, alongside targeted therapy to help manage and slow the spread of the cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bex is an absolute rock to all of us here at the Stud and is loved by so many people. Her kindness and generosity shine through in everything she does, and she is always the first to help those around her. The positivity and strength she has shown throughout her cancer journey have been truly remarkable. She continues to inspire us every day, and we would love the opportunity to give something back to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Saturday 15th August, a group of Bex's friends and colleagues will be walking 30km from the Macmillan Unit at West Suffolk Hospital, where she has received most of her treatment, to The Lodge at the National Stud. Our aim is to raise enough money to send Bex and her wonderful husband Steve on the holiday of a lifetime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter how small, would be hugely appreciated and will help us get closer to our target. If you're unable to donate, a share of this page would be wonderful too!

<div><strong>Ollie’s Story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My baby boy, Ollie, is just 13 months old. At only two weeks old, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with a rare and complex heart condition: pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA-VSD MAPCAs).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, Ollie has spent much of his first year in and out of hospital. But despite everything he’s been through, he is the happiest, cheekiest little boy. He loves bubbles, ducks, and making everyone around him laugh.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ollie is my only child. He is my whole world.
</div>
<div>And he deserves the chance to grow up, to go to school, make friends, and live the full life every child should have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Stanford?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ollie’s condition is life-limiting without surgery. So far, three major hospitals in the UK and more across Europe have told us the same devastating thing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“We can’t operate.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The only option offered here is palliative care, to make him comfortable, but not to save him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As his mum, I can’t and won’t accept that as his only future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s when we found Stanford Children’s Hospital in California. The world’s leading centres for Ollie’s exact condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stanford have reviewed Ollie’s case and offered us hope: they believe he is operable, and have accepted him for life-saving surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Plan: Two Stages to Save His Life</strong>

<div>Stanford will begin with a pulmonary artery reconstruction, which is the most urgent step. Right now, Ollie’s lung arteries are underdeveloped, making a full repair impossible. This surgery will improve blood flow to the lungs, helping his arteries grow strong enough over the next 6–9 months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once that happens, Ollie will be ready for stage two: the full repair.
</div>
<div>We’re hopeful this second stage can be done back here in the UK.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But it all depends on getting him to America first.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Challenge</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This first stage of surgery can’t be done in the UK, as the NHS simply doesn’t have the expertise required.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The confirmed cost of treatment, recovery, and aftercare at Stanford is £1.5 million.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s an unimaginable figure for any parent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can’t do this alone, but with your help, we just might be able to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single donation, no matter how small, takes us one step closer to giving Ollie a future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing his story. You never know who it might reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is Ollie’s chance not just to have a childhood, but to grow up.
</div>
<div>To laugh without limits.
</div>
<div>To live the full, bright life he deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with us.

<div>Lisa Sparrowhawk has been an Associate Facilitator, Solutions Consultant, and Solutions Director with NKD for 9 years, and has always been a huge part of our family. Lisa has been on a journey, having been diagnosed with cancer 7 years ago. For those of you who have worked alongside Lisa, you will know what a kind, caring, strong and resilient woman she is. Sadly, having been in remission, earlier this year Lisa received the news that her cancer has returned. She is staying positive, living an active life and is continuing to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Friday 8th March, the NKD family will be taking on the challenge of the Seven Sisters hike to raise money to support Lisa. The hike is a coastal trail which will take us from Seaford to Beachy Head and is approx 16.5km/just over 10 miles. Every penny raised will go towards supporting Lisa with her treatment.
