She suffered a broken neck and broken back and was rescued by the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
To thank these wonderful people for their amazing work and to ‘give back’ for their tremendous help on that unfortunate day, Caroline is organising a sponsored walk to raise funds for this charity (which has no government funding).
The walk will start at Potterne Park in Verwood to Moors Valley Country Park on Sunday 25th April 2010.
The route is six miles or a shorter three mile route is also on offer.
Walkers aim to set off between 10am & 12noon.
Anyone wishing to take part should contact Caroline on 01202 814668.
