Charlotte Russell looks ahead to the Macmillan Ride of their Lives 2024

Added: Tuesday 11th June 2024

12 intrepid amateur riders will do their bit in support of Britain's Biggest Charity Raceday on Saturday, when they take part in support of Macmillan Cancer Charities in the 'Ride of their Lives' before thousands of racegoers at York.

It's been a long journey for the lucky dozen, who got the call up just before Christmas and have been hard at work ever since, getting to know their rides and at the same time more than honouring their fund raising commitments, which, with days to go total more than £170,000 - far more than they were challenged to raise.

It'll be a day of a lifetime for the riders, amongst whom is Charlotte Russell, who rides Ey Up The Boss, and is known to many as the General Manager of Go Racing in Yorkshire.

She's been speaking with Mike Vince.
