Story

Hi I’m Sophie and along with my brother Jim we are walking the 100k walk in aid of the British Dyslexia Association. 

Jim was diagnosed with Dyslexia when he was 7 years old. He has significantly struggled throughout his schooling both academically and mentally due to the stigma and misunderstanding. The support that BDA provided him and our parents through resources, workshops and advice ensured Jim overcome these difficulties and allowed him to navigate his way through life becoming the happy and successful man he is today.  

We would love to give something back to the charity which gave our family so much. 

About the charity

We are the largest UK charity that supports people with dyslexia & their families, teachers & employers. We aim to change society by breaking through the barriers and enabling everyone with dyslexia to be acknowledged, accepted and empowered.
