I'm doing it again...please support my Ambitious Challenge!

I'm riding 220 miles in a day from Manchester to London for Ambitious about Autism on Sunday 22 June 2025. I'll be joining Simon Mottram, founder of Rapha, who will be leading the way as usual, starting at dawn in Manchester, riding down the spine of the country on an awe-inspiring journey through the Peak District, Midlands, and the Chilterns before finishing as the sun sets in London. Last year was perhaps the best day I've ever had on a bike...and that's no mean feat! The entire day was incredible. Yes, as I've admitted, those last 50-80k were somewhat 'challenging'...but to my mind they had to be. I'm at my limit. Everybody is. As a father of two neurodiverse teenagers (Autism and ADHD) I'm well aware of the 'challenges' life brings for them. I'm also acutely aware of my own difficulties as I have ADHD, also. So, this is a wonderful charity so very close to my heart, and this day is a wonderful (and beautifully challenging) day!
Since its inception, M2L has raised £2 million for Ambitious about Autism.  

Please help me add to this once more.

If you want to understand a little better (and perhaps shed a tear or two), have a watch of this film of last years ride:
