Jockey Richard Dunwoody MBE is to fundraise for Spinal Research, the charity dedicated
to funding research into spinal cord repair.
Five-time National Hunt Jockey of the
Year and the rider of nearly 1,900 winning horses, Dunwoody has agreed to undertake
a number of challenging fundraising events in aid of Spinal Research. These will
take him from the roads of Newcastle in the Great North Run, to the highest mountain
in the Andes, from driving in the World Cup Rally in Tunisia to the Flora London
Marathon.

Richard himself had a lucky escape when he sustained a neck injury after falling
from his horse in 1998.
