Say 'hello' to August, from Aim RDA! 🌟

For nearly 7 years, August has been a proud participant at RDA, having been a part of three different groups. Now, she’s thriving with AIM, where she’s found a true sense of community.

August’s passion for riding shines through. Her visual impairment means she navigates challenges like depth perception and reading arena letters with determination and confidence while riding. She says:

“My favourite thing about RDA is probably the people who are so friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. I also love the freedom I feel trotting and cantering on a horse.” 🐴

26.2 miles, one incredible cause! 🏃‍♀️💚

The TCS London Marathon is back, and we’re thrilled to introduce Aoife Hickey as one of our incredible runners for RDA UK!

Aoife has been a dedicated volunteer at her local RDA group since 2021, and now she’s taking her support even further.

Aoife says:
"Being part of RDA for four years, I wanted to take my support one step further by running the London Marathon. This journey is about raising awareness and funds so RDA can continue their amazing work and provide even more opportunities for those who need them most."

Keep pushing, Aoife - you’ve got this! 👊

Meet Janice, a participant at Erme Valley Riding For The Disabled Ltd. ✨

Following a fatal car accident, Janice didn’t think riding would be possible again. But after joining Erme Valley RDA and taking part in the therapeutic riding and non-mounted activities, she’s not only back in the saddle, she’s also competing in dressage independently!

RDA is about so much more than just riding – it’s about building confidence, strength, and independence. For Janice, it’s been a journey of overcoming challenges. Through RDA’s support, she’s found a new sense of purpose, joy, and a "happy place" where she feels empowered and connected.

There are many ways to get involved – whether through volunteering, helping with coffee, or participating in activities. Every role makes a difference and helps create more life-changing stories like Janice’s.

If you’re looking for a way to make a positive impact, come and join us. Together, we can help others experience the incredible benefits of RDA. 💚
