I'm raising funds for The Lighthouse School in Cookridge, Leeds.

The Lighthouse is a phenomenal educational establishment for children with a diagnosis of autism. Delivering outstanding education based around 'tailored to the individual' learning programmes, the Lighthouse requires constant funding for specialist equipment and resources, for example sensory learning tools and so on.

As a father of an autistic child, getting the best educational resouces in place is vital. A crack team of education professionals with a special interest in autism, led by the fantatsic Head Teacher, Emma Sullivan are absolutely dedicated to the kids in school and passionate about ensuring all pupils get the best start in life possible.

To make the fundraising effort a little bit interesting, I'm challenging myself to an 'Ultra' Walk - the Dales Skyline.

What is it? It's a 36 (approx) mile walk starting in the vilage of Barbon near Kirkby Lonsdale taking in 10 peaks, including the Yorkshire 3 peaks and finishing in the market town of Settle.

The challenge is to complete all 10 peaks within 20 hours (fell runners have done it in about half the time, but let's face it, those guys are a little bit mad!).

Again, this is specifically to raise funds for the amazing Lighthouse School, so please get involved and make a donation of whatever you can afford for these incredibly worthy causes.

Thanks for reading, donating and supporting me.. I (hopefully) won't let you down!

Cheers

Jonny
