Thanks for taking the time to visit Katie and Ross' JustGiving page for the London Marathon 2025.

We both are very excited and honoured to be participating in this iconic event. One of us is turning 60 next year, and the other is turning 30, and to do something for an amazing charity to celebrate seems very fitting!

We are so grateful for any sponsorship or support received, and will be training through the winter months with you all spurring us on.

Autism East Midlands is a charity that has an everyday impact for our family, as well as thousands of other individuals and families every single day.

The charity has a flagship specialist school in the heart of Nottingham where you will find our inspiration and begrudging training partner Alex!

Also, we have been fortunate enough to have had tours of the dedicated residential services and an innovative training facility to help autistic individuals live independently.

In short, Autism East Midlands provides invaluable support and expertise to ensure autistic individuals can feel heard, valued, in control, independent, respected, and included. We believe this is of critical importance and so whilst 26.2 miles may seem an awfully long way to run, we run with hope and optimism of a more just future for autistic individuals.

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.

Thank you so much again.
