Story

As some of you may know, our eldest son Theo was diagnosed with autism in 2023, and we've seen (and continue to see) all of the challenges he faces on a daily basis. Seeing him fight through his challenges has inspired me to take on my own challenge and so here I am, preparing to run the London Marathon in a time of 3:30 and raise as much money as physically possible.

This is for my son, and for every other young person who is affected by Autism.

London Marathon - I'm coming.

Let's go!

Autism is a life long developmental disability that affects 1 in 100 people. It affects the way a person communicates and how they see the world around them.
