Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For most of my older two children's life, I was an absent father - I took the easy option, telling myself I was making things better for them, that was not the reality.

During that time, they both needed help and support - both for emotional and wellbeing needs, increased due to high functioning autism.

Camp Mohawk provided an absolute lifeline for them.

They learnt skills, made friends, and grew in confidence - when they needed it, they had people they could confide in and get council from to help them through challenging times.

Today they are a couple of young men who I am exceedingly proud of - they are both looking to dedicate their lives to helping others who are going through the same/similar situations that they have been through, to help and support them in their time of need.

As a thank you to Camp Mohawk for the extraordinary work they do, I have crazily decided to cycle from London to Brighton on Saturday 18th September as part of the Big Lemon inaugural EV Rally.

That is a journey of almost 100km or 60 miles... with ascents of over 850m in total (about the same as going up Snowdon in Wales)
