As many know, sadly on 1st August 2016, Hannah Francis, a very brave and inspiring young lady sadly lost her battle to cancer; this was not before she touched the heart of thousands of followers. During Hannah's battle she kept a blog and lived out a lot of dreams along the way: www.willberrywonderpony.org 

Despite being in constant pain, Hannah's first concern was for other people; people with the same diagnosis as her, and seriously ill people whose lives could be enriched, as hers was, by horses. She felt it was entirely wrong for anyone else to have to suffer in this way. As fast as the money came in, Hannah started sending it right back out again to support a host of cancer charities. 

There was a huge groundswell of support for Hannah and Willberry as they told their story and found that it became an opportunity to help other people learn about living with the awful disease, so all efforts turned towards setting up a formal charity, now known as Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony Charity. The charity was finally registered on 29 March 2016, number 1166416.

The charity aims to support vital research into osteosarcoma and to grant equine related wishes to seriously ill people and their families.

With Hannah deep in my thoughts I decided I want to do something in her memory; to celebrate the good that she has done and help others in the future. I have decided to hold a raffle with the draw taking place on Sunday 11th September at LandS Eventing, two day event at a venue in Offchurch. Lands Eventing are keen supporters of Hannah. It is a competition that will see many like-minded people competing together, at a venue we had the pleasure of seeing Hannah compete at in March this year. **Due to unforeseen circumstances the raffle has had to relocate to LandS super Arena eventing on Saturday 17th September at Dallas Polo Ground, Southam**

I regularly volunteer for Lands Eventing, however this time I will be volunteering my time to help spread the good of Hannah and Willberry, and raise funds in her honour. All proceeds will go to Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony Charity.

Raffle tickets are £5 each

Tickets will be issued in the order they are purchased, and can be bought via here, Horse-Events, personally from Stacey Henderson or at the LandS two day event weekend.
