Lucy and Hatty setting off from Prince’s Mead school<br />
ALLEGRA’S AMBITION<br />
My name is Lucy Harley<br />
and this summer I rode from<br />
Prince’s Mead in Winchester<br />
to Daymer Bay in Cornwall<br />
on my pony, Wella, to<br />
raise money for Allegra’s<br />
Ambition, a charity set up<br />
in memory of my best friend,<br />
Allegra who passed away very suddenly, 16<br />
days after her 16th birthday, in February 2015.<br />
The charity aims to help other young<br />
people, through participation in sport and<br />
outdoor activities, to develop similar positive<br />
behaviours and values to enhance their lives –<br />
and be happier people. Like Allegra. Allegra<br />
was the happiest, kindest person who adored<br />
any sort of animal/ sport/ outdoor activity<br />
and everyone who knew her adored her. Ever<br />
since the charity was set up, her friends and<br />
family have come together to organise creative<br />
fund raising ideas and they have all been very<br />
successful.<br />
I thought this ride would<br />
bring together all the things<br />
that Allegra loved - Prince’s<br />
Mead, Daymer Bay, riding<br />
and a great challenge.<br />
I found the route we would<br />
use when I got in touch with<br />
William Reddaway, who<br />
had ridden around England visiting every<br />
Cathedral. I also wrote to all the Hunts whose<br />
country we would be passing through, and so<br />
many people offered us a bed and stable/field<br />
for the night that we were quite overwhelmed<br />
by their kindness. During the ride we were<br />
often joined by friends and also hunt members<br />
either on horse back, bike, pram or foot and it<br />
was so nice to have company and someone to<br />
show me the way! The weather was kind to us<br />
most of the time, and Wella absolutely loved<br />
it all especially arriving at Daymer Bay and<br />
cantering through the waves.<br />
