My Story

I’ve always had a strong connection to the racing world. Growing up, horses were a constant part of my life, and my family has been deeply involved in the racing industry for many years. My brother, Don Atkinson, used to be a point-to-point jockey, and my cousin, Wayne Lordan, is renowned as one of Ireland’s top flat jockeys. In 2018, I achieved a significant victory in the Corinthian Challenge series, which involved three races. This year, I’ve decided to participate again, eager to regain my racing form and make my family proud—especially my wife, Theresa, and our kids, Lucy and Charlie. I have been a long-time supporter of the charity and continue to volunteer whenever possible. I'm passionate about raising awareness and advocating for increased fundraising efforts.

All donations and support is greatly appreciated.
