Story

Hi, I’m Angus Leckonby! I’m a 22-year-old athlete from Octon, in North Yorkshire, with a passion for pushing limits and proving that anything is possible.

Living with autism, verbal dyspraxia, and an intellectual disability hasn’t held me back—it’s fuelled my determination to achieve greatness through sport.

This year, I’m taking on two monumental challenges where I hope to set new Guinness World Records: the TCS London Marathon in April and the Swim Serpentine two-mile swim in September.

Through these challenges, I’m raising £10,000 for Special Olympics Great Britain, a charity that transforms lives for people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities sport.

Training and competing in sport has been life-changing for me, helping me gain confidence, make friends, and discover my potential. With your support, we can help others experience the same life-changing opportunities.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for supporting my cause.
