A new charity aimed at supporting injured jockeys has been established with champion jockey Ruby Walsh announced as chairman of its board.
Irish Injured Jockeys, which was launched on Wednesday at Punchestown Racecourse, aims to offer a public fundraising vehicle to the racing public and wider audience to show their support for injured jockeys.
The aim of the charity is to raise awareness and vital funds on a consistent basis to provide for injured riders as individual cases and through racing's charities.
All funds raised through Irish Injured Jockeys will go to those most in need of support.
The launch of Irish Injured Jockeys takes place one year after the Limerick Charity Raceday, held in light of two serious injuries sustained by riders in March 2013.
The public rallied in support and the race day raised in excess of €809,000.
The launch also coincides with the inaugural race-meeting of the season at Punchestown Racecourse.
