Story

I'm hiking 220km and up 14,000m of French/Swiss mountains over 13 days - the equivalent of doing Ben Nevis every single day. I've chosen to help Horizon Sports Club charity because they enable young people with disabilities to enjoy sport, offering specialist coaching with a high level of support.

Emin who coaches our autistic son Sebastian for swimming has inspired so many kids every week. He and his team have hearts of gold giving their coaching with patience and encouragement to each and every person. They also offer football, dance, kickboxing and multisports.

It gets the kids fit and away from screens. They learn valuable life skills and it enables them to take on other challenges as a result. Sebastian has self belief now and can safely swim in the sea with 3m swell for an hour with confidence. His fitness has had him climbing the UK's highest mountains with me and my cousin Phil who I'm doing this trek with.
