Charity total hits amazing £240,000

Following the recent fundraising events including the Golf Day, a cycle ride, and Fontwell Park charity race day, the charity has now brought in some £240,000. This brings it ever closer to Clive and Tricia’s target of £250K. This will represent 250 years of education as each £1000 represents a year of a students life.

This will be a fitting legacy to Lisa, it’s amazing to think that nearly eleven years after her untimely death she is still able to help other young adults fulfil their educational dreams and ambitions in the way that Lisa did.”

Lisa’s Legacy wins at Salisbury

In a very poignant moment, race horse Lisa’s Legacy recorded its first victory on August 14th at Salisbury. Ridden by James Doyle and trained by Daniel Kubler, the 3 year old gelding won over a distance of a mile and a quarter.

Lisa’s Legacy is the foal of Lisathedaddy and sired by Kyllachy.  Lisathedaddy — named for Lisa’s email address, because “she was the daddy” — was the first race horse owned by Tricia Wilson who is the breeder of Lisa’s Legacy.

Lisathedaddy now has another foal, named “Whosethedaddy”, who will go into training later this year. She has also been covered by Dick Turpin this year at the national stud.

Charles Davidson and Irana Lessi, friends of Trish and Clive, recently got engaged at their home in Florida. They cut the cake in the gazebo surrounded by 30 guests. Charlie had said they wanted to help raise some money on the night for Lisa’s charity and charged everyone $5 a head to enter a chipping competition and a “cornhole” competition (Bean bag game).

The gathering watched the bungy jump carried out by Lisa, Billy Connolly and Clive in New Zealand at the Nevis high wire.

Guests had a great evening and $230 (£150) was donated by them. We would like to wish Charlie and Rayna a long and happy life together.
