Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

The "Big Race" is 26.2 miles but it's the 370 miles of training over three months that is really challenging me. I am well on my way though.

I am running for National Autistic Society. As many of you will know, Luke was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder when he was three and we couldn't have achieved the successes we did without the support from the NAS. It's great to do something that is keeping me fit and healthy whilst raising funds to help people with autism overcome their everyday challenges.

Now here is your opportunity to participate. I am relying on everyone else to do the "real work", finding the cash! But at least you can do it whilst sitting at your desks or on your sofas! So please feel free to compete amongst yourselves for highest donation and/or amusing and entertaining comments. If anyone would like to come and catch me at the finish line as I fall into a heap of pain, sweat and complaints then come along! It's the 13th April, here in the big smoke.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Autistic Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Dig deep people and please sponsor me now!

I thank you for your support.

Ali (aka 4p!)
