Jacob Pritchard Webb Completes 140 Mile Hand Cycling Charity Challenge

Jacob Pritchard Webb Concludes His 140 Mile Journey The Jockey Club

Jacob Pritchard Webb's charity ride has reached the finish post, but the donations keep coming in since the conclusion of the three-day event Saturday afternoon which began July 7 at Cheltenham. The 25-year-old former jockey, paralysed after a fall at Auteuil in June of 2020, was riding in support of both the Injured Jockeys Fund and the Matt Hampson Foundation with the current figure sitting at around £13,000 by the time he crossed the line at Newmarket.

“I'm slightly overwhelmed to be honest. The support and donations have been amazing, and everyone who's got involved have just been fantastic,” said Pritchard Webb when speaking at the finish line. “Without those people, I just wouldn't have got up that hill on that first day – AP literally took his shoes off and pushed me up! We were not going to be defeated. There are too many people to thank, but I owe so much gratitude to my mum and dad for doing it with me.”
