Please support my Ambitious challenges!
On Sunday 10th May I will ride The Fred Whitton Challenge - 107 miles with over 11,000 feet of climbing up some of the steepest inclines in the UK - Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott, and Wrynose passes. This year has also been labelled
as the hardest ever, due to road closures changing the 2026 route, it now starts with "The Struggle" instead of the traditional Kirkstone Pass.
Then on Sunday 28th 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 these two challenges 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.
