Comments from Lilly

“It is an honour to have been asked to be a charity patron for The ADHD Foundation. I have openly spoken about the challenges I have personally faced being a professional National Hunt jockey living with ADHD through the ‘A Racing Mind’ documentary.

The work of the ADHD Foundation in supporting neurodiverse individuals is invaluable and I hope I can inspire many young people with ADHD to not see it as something that holds them back but to follow their dreams.”

Comments from our CEO

“We are honoured to welcome Lilly Pinchin as a Patron of the ADHD Foundation, not least because she is a passionate and professional woman, but she also shares our love for animals and the human-animal relationships that support people with neurodiversity in the modern world.

Lilly’s achievements in elite sport as a neurodivergent woman are a powerful example of what can be achieved when we embrace and support difference. Lilly’s presence at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show will help shine a spotlight on the strength, talent and resilience within the neurodivergent community.” – Dr Lindsey Roberts, Interim CEO.

We’re so excited for what’s to come!
