Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Throughout the month of December, I'll be fund-raising for Autistica - Sumo Warrington's chosen charity for 2021. My mission is to virtually climb 29,032 feet - the height of Mount Everest - using a smart turbo trainer and the Zwift indoor cycling app. Based on recent rides, I reckon it's going to take me around 24 hours in the saddle (which should help mitigate any Christmas excess). 

Too many autistic people are abandoned after diagnosis with zero effective support. Autistica have now published their plan for achieving ambitious and visionary goals including the provision of personalised support from day one, doubling the employment rate for autistic people and providing proven treatments for anxiety. You can find out more at https://www.autistica.org.uk/about-us/2030 

Autistica needs our financial support to create the breakthroughs that will allow autistic people to live happier, healthier, longer lives. Thanks in advance for your support and donations! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
