Support CatWalk

 

We have raised over $13,000 for CatWalk - thankyou for your support!  

Tielcey Park Equestrian Centre in Aokautere, near Palmerston North, has pledged to support the CatWalk Trust, with 10% of their pre-tax profits going to the Trust for the next ten years.   In addition members of the Tielcey Park Club receive exclusive benefits and this is another method of fundraising for CatWalk. 

The CatWalk Trustees originally gathered together because of common links to a friend critically injured in a riding accident. That friend was Catriona Williams - now a C6-7 tetraplegic.  Initially the group planned to fundraise for Williams herself – but a bigger picture quickly became clear. A cure for all was Williams’ dream – and so CatWalk was born. 

The Founder of the Trust, Catriona Williams, commented “I’m personally thrilled that the initiative of Tielcey Park’s new Managing Director, Margo Aasen, has been able to combine my two greatest passions: spending money on all things equestrian and the CatWalk Trust. Tielcey Park is a fantastic equestrian facility and one that I made the most of during my riding years.” 

When Catriona learned that Tielcey Park has fundraised over $4,000 in two months, she said "Tielcey Park has gone from strength to strength with it’s new Managing Director, Margo Aasen. Her limitless energy, enthusiasm and passion to succeed have enabled not only the riders who are able to use these exceptional facilities to benefit, but also the CatWalk Trust. It is a privilege for us to have someone who, like the CatWalk team, continues to aim high because there is never a mountain to tall to climb and with combined efforts we’re continuing to see extraordinary results. As Margo will agree though it’s you, our supporters, who is making the difference! Thank-you so much!"

When asked why Tielcey Park is supporting CatWalk, Margo Aasen, explained “because we can.  Spinal injuries are a moment away for many of us riders, and we now in a position to make a significant contribution to support the Trust.  Catriona is an example to all of us – her perseverance, courage and positive attitude inspire us all.”  

To the Tielcey Park Team - Thankyou so much for your continued support - it is absolutely incredible.  The response from all your riders is just fantastic, Kind regards", Catriona Williams
