The Injured Jockeys Fund provides important funds in case of serious accident and also provides maintenance for those beneficiaries in need of long term support. “The Injured Jockeys Fund does superb work in helping jockeys who have sustained injuries through their work”, John commented, “and we hope that we can help them in some way.”
Any donations however small would be very much appreciated.
