This year I will be wearing an enormous robot 'costume' that is over 9 feet high, weighs 70 lbs and has stilts buit into the legs! The Iron Giant's eyes light up and his mouth moves so that I can make him 'talk'. I expect it will take me a number of days to get around the course, so look out for me!

I am raising funds for a fantastic charity called the Autism Trust.  The reason I chose a robot is that people often think autistic people have a robotic existence, when in fact they are very real people inside with huge potential and the ability to flourish with the right help and support.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Autism Trust 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.

Please make all my efforts worthwhile for this wonderful cause and be kind enough to sponsor me now!

Many heartfelt thanks for your support.
