My name is Michael I am 29, born with Down Syndrome, visually impaired and mild left sided Cerebral Palsy.

I am going to take on a very difficult challenge for me of Running /walking 100km in a week around Wales. Starting Sunday 6th October finishing Sunday 13th October 2024.

I will start my challenge

. Running the Cardiff Half Marathon on the 6th October

' Then run/walk 60km around Wales with 13 local Mencap Clubs promoting a fitness programme for all.

- Finishing off at the Manchester Half on the 13th October.

Every year I take on a challenge for charity. This year I decided to raise money for Mencap, as I am a Mencap Myth Buster and because I received amazing support from Mencap last year after a very difficult episode in my life.

I wanted to do a challenge that will push me out of my comfort zone and to share my love for walking/running and nature with my Mencap friends throughout Wales.

Mencap works to improve the lives of people with learning disability live happy and healthy lives . Mencap has supported me and my friends for many years when we needed help and support and I would like to give back when the opportunity arises.
