Please support my Ambitious Challenge!

I will be cycling a massive 220miles (352km) in a single day on Sunday 22 June 2025. Starting in Manchester and finishing in London, I'll be leaving my limits behind to raise vital funds for Ambitious about Autism.

As many of you will know, autism is very much a part of our little family, irrevocably changing our lives and setting us on a course of constant learning, adaptation and understanding. I will seize with both hands, anything I can, that will raise awareness, education and support of and for autistic young people struggling to find their place in this ever increasingly complex world.

Ambitious about Autism is the national charity standing with autistic children and young people. They champion rights, campaign for change and create opportunities for autistic young people and their families.

Please dig deep if you can, any amount, even tiny, goes some way to helping to open doors for young autistic people who just don't have the opportunities that their peers do.

Please also consider adding GiftAid to your donation, the charity can claim an extra 25% on top of your donation! I also think it’s important to note that I have covered the cost of the event, so you can donate safe in the knowledge that your money will go directly to Ambitious about Autism, rather than paying for my event costs too.

From the core of my everything, a sincere and heartfelt thank you. I really do appreciate your generosity and support as I step out of my comfort zone to complete this challenge. Autistic young people all over the UK have to step out of their own comfort zones every single day of their lives, to get by in a society not built for them. If I can, even for a moment, experience the far limits of my mental and physical abilities, perhaps just for that moment, I can relate to what they go through every day.

I almost reached my minimum target in just 24hrs. This is absolutely unbelievable and I’m not afraid to admit I shed a little tear when I saw the donations had piled in. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m going to keep raising the target, let’s see just how far we can go for these incredible young people. I love you all, thank you for believing in me.
