2015: 7 marathons –7 days  2016: 26 marathons – 26 days. That’s how much specialist pre-school education groups in Dorset and Somerset mean to me and the many families with a child with Special Educational Needs. 

I founded the Hidden Needs Trust to fundraise for these amazing organisations, many of which are charities.  So in 2017 I’m running once again: 60 miles from Portland to Sherborne and holding many other fundraising events through the coming year.

I’ve decided to make the run on June 17 2017 a family affair by including my children who will run in parts or the full distance.  For the final leg I'll be joined by school children, including those with disabilities, parents, carers and HNT supporters.  This last leg of the run will take us into The Meadows in Sherborne where the town will be holding a special Sherborne Community Event from midday until late into the evening – more details on this and other events will added to the HNT website –www.hiddenneedstrust.org.
