This October, Ricky and I are taking on the "100 Miles in October 2026" challenge, each, in support of the National Autistic Society. As parents of a wonderful, clever, autistic child, this cause is deeply personal to us. It is also a chance to turn our determination into action and help make a difference for autistic people and their families.

Inspired by the difference this charity makes every day, I’m aiming to complete 100 miles throughout the month as a personal sporting challenge with a powerful purpose. The National Autistic Society supports the 700,000 autistic people in the UK and their families through specialist schools, campaigning for better rights and services, and helping organisations become more autism friendly.

Their work is transforming lives and changing attitudes, but there is still so much more to do. Every donation helps strengthen their voice, expand their support, and build a society that truly works for all autistic people and their families.

Please consider giving what you can to support this cause. Your donation, whether small or large, will help keep me motivated as I take on this challenge and contribute to a future where autistic people are understood, respected, and included. Thank you for your support. 💜

Fundraising target: £150

Event date: 1 October 2026
