Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In an attempt to stave of the aches and pains of a maturing body, I have been training with the fantastic Cihan at DW sports for the past few years.  We decided we both needed a challenge for 2015 so...

Battling against wild animals, (ok there is a white tiger at the zoo and there's bound to be a dog or two) treacherous terrain, (well it's quite hilly) sleep deprevation and unpredictable weather conditions (this is true), we are tackling the Isle Of Wight Challenge. (www.isleofwightchallenge.com)

We will be walking 106km (65.8 miles) non stop  on 2/3 May to raise money for Autism Wessex.  We hope to do this in around 25 hours.  

You can read all about the charity at www.autismwessex.org.uk.  Rest assured that every penny that we raise will go to helping people with autism and their families - through the free Information & Advice service, Drop In groups for adults, parent training courses, newsletters, Education, Residential, Community  and other invaluable services.

We have set ourselves the physical challenge, now you can help spur us on by donating to our cause.

Thank you!
