2026 M2L Deferrals

Please support my Ambitious challenge!

On Sunday 28 June 2026 I will ride 220 miles in a single day from Manchester to London. A test of endurance, a journey that demands everything, and gives back more.

I am taking on the Ambitious 220 Challenge to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism, the national charity standing with autistic children and young people.

Too often autistic young people are unheard, unsupported, or shut out of opportunities. That can change. Every mile and every turn of the pedals helps create a world where autistic children and young people are accepted for who they are and given the chance to realise their ambitions.

This is more than a ride. This has purpose.

If you can, please consider donating to my page and join me in standing with autistic children and young people.

My Updates

M2L will now be 2027

Saturday 27th Jun
A few weeks ago I was involved in a road traffic accident while out cycling, and came away with a fractured vertebra. I'm still in a brace and won't be cleared to ride properly for a while yet, so taking on a big ride this year simply isn't possible.

With that in mind, I'm postponing until 2027. That gives me the time to heal fully and come back fit, strong and ready to do it justice.

I'm hugely grateful to everyone who has backed this so far. Your support means a great deal and carries straight over to next year — nothing is lost. I'll confirm new dates in due course.

Ambitious about Autism is a cause close to my heart, and this is very much a delay, not the end. Thank you for your patience and for sticking with me.
