I set up Hidden Needs Trust in Sept 2014 to raise awareness of the vital work that the Opportunity Groups in Dorset and Somerset provide. These groups support pre-school children with special needs and their families in a safe and stimulating environment. Alongside raising awareness of the groups I have spent the last three years fundraising for them through the Hidden Needs Trust, including an annual personal sponsored challenge. 

2015, despite breaking my neck 12 weeks earlier I ran 7 marathons in 7 days, then in 2016 I took on 27 marathons in 26 days. 2017 I ran 65 miles in 12 hours finishing at the Sherborne Summer Festival.  

An invitation to the Queens Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in 2017 was a wonderful surprise, what an honour and privilege to be invited as Hidden Needs Trust.
