Thank you all so much, it is with your help that we can continue #kickingcancersbutt. Been inspired to get involved? Check out our fundraising page here to find out how. 

The Simone Prendergast Charitable Trust sent in an incredibly generous donation of £2000 - thank you!	Nicola Whitelaw donated £50  for berry that travelled all the way to Belgium!
Robin Carpenter is basically a superhuman and took part  Centurion Running 100- a challenge where you run/walk no less than 100miles in one hit!! Seriously impressive, especially managing to raise £545 for us along the way. Thank you.
Norton Hill School's, Quantock House have been doing various fundraisers, including a non-stop music endurance fundraiser totalling £476 for a charity very close to their hearts, as this was the house that Hannah was in when she was at Norton Hill School.	The Trustees of Lord Leverhulme's Charitable Trust donated £2000 to Maddie Wilson's Husky Trail - a challenge of sledging 250km from Norway to Sweden, Maddie is taking part in this crazy challenge in April next year and Willberry is buzzing to find out how you get on.
The inaugural Hannah Francis One Day Event that was held in July, organised by Lesley Stewart & her phenomenal committee, raised £5000. The response was incredible and we can't wait to welcome more superstar eventers next year.    Willberry's always been a fan of a sneaky pint but even more so after hearing Upton Noble Beer Festival sent in a donation of £232.	Anna Gaunt and Bethany Crocker did a awesome bike ride collection and charity event raising £800 for our cause.          Gale & Niki Baker organised a sweepstake at Niki’s Wedding raising £455.16, giving them two reason to celebrate!

WOW WOW WOW. 

We're not really sure what else to say other than the biggest of thank you's. Without you incredible supporters who have been right next to Hannah from her very first Instagram post this wouldn't have been possible. It is you all who kept Hannah's fight so strong, and it is your continual support that allows us to keep her legacy bright, to tap into her determination as we keep #kickingcancersbutt.

With PhD applications closing soon and Willberry busy planning his Wishes, next year is sure to be exciting. So lets dream big, fight hard and never give up - onto the next million hey? 

From the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you. We will do everything we can to make sure that every single pence is spent in the best way possible.

With Olympia creeping ever closer the 'dream-team' of Tedberry, Mintberry, Doris, Teddy the Shetland and of course the one and only Willberry rose bright and early for a day of press. 

They met with the Mounted Police unit of the Metropolitan Police Force at 8.30am so that our Very Important Ponies could be escorted down the Mall by police horses Merlin and Quixote.  Thanks to a few tips from Teddy, Doris had soon worked out her best angles. With a mane flick here and there, our supermodel shetlands had the army of press very busy clicking away.
	Willberry had to take a big breath before going to speak to the BBC about his best friends charity, but was so proud to be able to share with thousands of people quite how incredible Hannah is (read Hannah's story here). Not to mention being able to explain how he's using the support to keep #kickingcancersbutt and grant his Willberry Wishes as well as share his excitement about his Christmas trip to Olympia. After the serious job was out the way those ponies were hard to control. They blagged into being shown the stables at Great Scotland Yard, being doorman at The Goring, popped over to see Buckingham Palace, and no trip to London is complete without a ride on a double decker bus.
The trip to London has made the team so excited to be heading back there in a months time for Olympia International Horse Show, and to be the Official Charity is just incredible. Willberry is going to be a very busy berry, who knows, he may need a helping hoof or two...

As the eventing season draws to a close, The Wobbleberry Challenge, set up in August 2016 by Sally Barr and three other willing volunteers, has exceeded all expectations, with funds raised approaching £250,000 and more than 1,200 people signing up to take part.

The Challenge, set up exclusively to raise money for Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony Charity, has captured the imagination of the equestrian world. The charity was established in 2016 by Hannah Francis, a young event rider, who lost her life to osteosarcoma in August of that year at the age of just 18 years old. The Wobbleberry Challenge is a key fundraiser for the charity and encourages non-eventers to challenge themselves to compete in a British Eventing BE80(T) competition, whilst raising funds for the charity.

With so many people wanting to sign up for 2017/18 and some wanting to defer their Challenge, it has been necessary to consider the future of the Challenge going forwards. Following discussions with the Trustees of Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony Charity, the Wobbleberry Challenge will continue to be a fundamental part of the Charity’s fundraising activities and has now been established as an annual programme.

Sally explains, “The Wobbleberry Challenge was set up because we were so inspired by Hannah’s determination and we wanted to raise money for a fantastic charity. People who take part in this personal challenge aim to complete a BE80(T) event, having never completed one previously with their equine partner. Typically, people who participated in 2017 had never considered attempting a BE, but were inspired by Hannah to push themselves. This is such a fundamental part of the Wobbleberry Challenge, because Hannah herself was so inspired by her riding. How fitting indeed that her legacy continues in so many ways, not least in encouraging people into the saddle and proving to themselves that they can achieve something not previously thought possible.”

To sign up for the 2017/18 Wobbleberry Challenge please purchase a starter pack for £20 plus VAT (can be found by clicking; here), the funds for which go directly to the charity. The sign-up process is explained in the starter pack, but more information can be found on the website and at www.wobbleberries.com. If individuals wish to be more involved, they can also apply to be a representative within their area.
