This October, I'm taking part in the 100 miles in October challenge in aid of the National Autistic Society.

Our daughter, Penelope, was diagnosed with autism, aged 2, and it has been a journey of discovery ever since. We entered a world of unknowns that continue to this day, and we will continue to push for greater understanding, clearer support, and a world that is more accepting for people with autism.

The National Autistic Society are there to help the 700,000 autistic people in the UK and their families - be it running specialist schools, campaigning for improved rights or training companies on being more autism-friendly, they are dedicated to transforming lives and changing attitudes.

Your donations towards my efforts are greatly appreciated and not only that, but they will also be a huge help in creating a society that works for all autistic people and their families, thank you!
