I am (attempting to!) run the 10k at Brighton Marathon Weekend to raise money for Team Domenica - a charity equipping people with learning disabilities and autism (their 'candidates') with the skills, confidence and independence they need to gain meaningful employment and thrive. We left our London life to move down to Sussex to get Taylor into this amazing place and he is absolutely loving it....

What they do works. It's inspirational. Candidates undertake a two-year employment programme that combines classroom education, enrichment activities, and real-world training in their cafes and pub. And Team Domenica partners with local businesses to provide accessible work experience, internships, and job opportunities.

The results speak for themselves:

• In England, less than 5% of people with learning disabilities are in employment.

• At Team Domenica, 75% of candidates find paid work through their Supported Internship Programme.

• And 86% of these young people maintain their roles for at least two years.

What better cause to try and raise money for than somewhere that is helping our son and other young people with SEN realise their future?

This is going to be a big challenge for me as I haven't run properly in a long time.. so the more support I can get the more motivation I will receive! If all my friends and family could see fit to donating around £10 then I would hit my target! But if you think you could spare any more we would all be so grateful.
