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.

Sunday 14th JunIn just under two week’s time, I will take on the challenge to ride the 220 miles from Manchester to London in one day on a road bike.
I don’t really know what to expect and how painful it’s going to be 😅
So why on earth am I doing this?!
The reason is as simple as why this challenge was founded in the first place - to raise funds for the amazing charity Ambitious About Autism and generally raise awareness about autism and the challenges autistic young people and their families face every day.
For me, the pain only lasts the 18-20 hours it will take me to cycle to London. I will then get to rest and recover, and a week later it’s almost like it never happened. It is nothing compared to the darkest day for someone growing up autistic and what their family go through with them. For them, they can’t stop after a day to recover, they can only get help to make their lives more bearable.
For a non-neurodiverse brain it’s hard enough growing up, going through school and applying for a job. So imagine what it’s like when your brain doesn’t work the way society expects it, when nothing makes sense in school, when your CV doesn’t follow what recruiters or HR departments expects and the interview doesn’t follow the norm. Ambitious About Autism are there to teach, support, to open doors through internships and run nationwide campaigns for awareness.
Please, if you can, help me make this ride worth the while for those that don’t have the same opportunities you and I have. As they say, every penny helps, so whatever you can spare, nothing is too little.
If you’re unable to help financially, I’d very much appreciate if you share this - to spread the word and help me reach those who can help.
