Jack Dodd Foundation Details

The Jack Dodd Foundation was formed in memory of Jack Dodd, who tragically passed away in June of 2018. The foundation aims to carry Jack's legacy and build on his core values by creating an international community for riders and their families, providing them with support and access to all the tools they need to thrive both as athletes and as individuals.The foundation seeks to fulfil three core functions:I: The growth and maintenance of a fund which will support injured riders and their families in times of needII: The formation of an online database of contacts, aiming to assist riders in forming a network amongst their peers and professionals from various supplementary industriesIII: The ongoing support of three charities who were integral to Jack's own battleThe foundation encourages riders to help one another, balancing their strengths and weaknesses through the sharing of information. With regular updates to our network and information base, we will identify key areas in which there is a lack of openly available information and aim to fill in these gaps —making it easier for riders to transition into opening their own businesses and relocate to pursue their sporting goals. Examples of key network contacts will include business coaches, accountants, marketing experts, injury prevention and recovery coaches, nutrition experts, sports psychologists, and many more. The Jack Dodd Foundation fund will be available to riders and their families in times of need, where an unforeseen injury occurs. We were very fortunate to be surrounded by an extensive and generous network of individuals in the duration of Jack's battle and believe it is important to be able to use this experience to give back to the equestrian community. The love, kindness, and practical support shown to us was indescribable, and we want to be able to ensure that no member of our sport ever feels they have nowhere to turn to.Please contact us for any and all partnership enquiries.
