CHARITIES

Sportingbet's Kilimanjaro climb is raising funds for two charitable causes: The Injured Jockey's Fund and Breast Cancer. 100% of all donations will be passed to the charities with no deduction for administrative purposes. To donate using a credit or debit card please follow the links opposite. To donate by cheque or bank transfer, please see the information below.

The Injured Jockeys Fund

Founded in 1964 by John Oaksey, following the devastating accidents to Tim Brookshaw, and then Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National, the Injured Jockeys Fund has raised and distributed over £16m in helping over 1000 jockeys whose injuries have forced them to give up riding. The IJF aims to maintain this ethos with continuing support for its existing beneficiaries and to provide immediate and effective help to all newly injured jockeys in whatever way is appropriate to ensure a reasonable quality of life for them and their families.

Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Haven

We are raising money for two breast cancer charities: Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Haven. Donations to our breast cancer charities will be split between the two.

Breast Cancer Care combines the personal experiences of people affected by breast cancer with clinical expertise, using this in a unique way to: provide information and offer emotional and practical support to sufferers; bring people affected by breast cancer together; campaign for improvement in standards of support and care and promote the importance of early detection.

Breast Cancer Haven was founded by Sara Davenport in 1997 following the experience of her children's nanny who was diagnosed with the illness. Sara was concerned by the lack of emotional support and information available to people with breast cancer. Believing that "no-one should have to face breast cancer alone", Sara sold her art business and put all of her energy into creating Breast Cancer Haven. Despite a welcome increase in breast cancer awareness, Breast Cancer Haven remains the only charity that promotes integrated healthcare specifically designed to support people through their breast cancer treatment.
