Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running my first marathon at London for Cynon Valley PALS is an absolute privilege. I also run it to make my boy proud, and help him as his Daddy and hero!

Running helped me when I was at my lowest after Olly was diagnosed Autistic and has became a tool to help manage difficult times and remain fit for the most energetic of little boys.

My dream was to run the London and for a local charity that makes a real difference to peoples lives, and we are very fortunate that we have Cynon Valley PALS who do this.

My 7 year old Olly, is Autistic with ADHD and Epilepsy … facts…life is hard for him, but PALS has been an absolute life line of a support by consistently putting on events that meet Olly’s needs. Their tireless work to create suitable, friendly and inclusive sessions, such as Christmas Brecon Railway, Saturday Lido ALN swims to Surfibility days and visits to amazing zoos, is vital to us and so many families…one example where this made a difference for us, is when Olly stopped wanting to swim, the one activity he loved. Their PALS ALN sessions at the local pool and Ponty Lido helped us nurture Olly in a safe way back to something he loved.

Running this marathon to raise funds for PALS will literally fund 1000’s of opportunities for children like Olly to enjoy a day with their families and friends and builds a community of families in the same boat - thank you for donating and making a difference.
