I am running the 2024 London Marathon for the National Autistic Society, because I myself am autistic, and wish to raise awareness for the difficulties and challenges that come with being neurodivergent.

After seeing my Dad run the marathon on multiple occasions in support of great causes, I was inspired to apply to run in support of a cause close to my heart. I have undertaken the challenge with no previous long-distance running experience, and wish to prove to myself and others that this goal is possible for anyone.

Raising money for the National Autistic Society will help those with autistic spectrum disorders get earlier diagnosis, better quality support and resources, as well as achieve dreams not possible without financial support.
