My Story

On the 30th December 2025 I am running 100 miles in 24 hours for my incredible son, Arthur, and Austism Hampshire which supports autistic children in the local area.

This amazing charity is dedicated to helping autistic people and those with learning disabilities live happy, fulfilling lives. My son, Arthur, is autistic and non-verbal, and while he faces daily challenges, he inspires me every single day. 

People often focus on what Arthur can’t do and sometimes stop and stare… but to me, he’ll always be defined by what he can do!

Every day, Arthur reminds me that resilience always wins. #Inclusion #AutismAwareness #Strength

All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them. In return, they will teach you about life and what really matters.

ASD children need our help as specialist schools up and down this country are overworked, understaffed and full, and children are unable to receive the education and support they so desperately need and deserve. Charities like Avenues Group and Autism Hampshire provide them with a chance.

Thank you for your donations - means the world.
