Please support my Ambitious challenge!
On Sunday 28 June 2026 I will ride 220 miles in a single day from Manchester to London. After surgery for prostate cancer last year I decided I needed to do a few things differently and take on some new challenges. This will be my longest ride by some margin.
I am taking on the Ambitious 220 Challenge to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism, the UK 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.
