Story

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

As I crossed the finish line of the 2023 London Marathon, I said to myself "never again". However...

Having slept on that thought, my mindset had completely flipped and I decided it was too good of an experience to not do again (and again, who knows).

I am running the 2024 New York Marathon on November 3rd in aid of the National Autistic Society. The NAS is a fantastic cause and I would be very grateful if you are able to donate to assist the 700,000 autistic people and their families across the UK, many of which benefitting from the amazing help the NAS provide.

The organisation provides leading support to transform lives and change attitudes towards people with autism. Whether this be providing specialist schools, expert training for companies to be more autism-friendly or campaigning for improved rights.

This will be my second marathon following London last year. I am looking forward to the challenge, having had almost a year out from long distance running due to the ongoing basketball season but I am excited to get back into the marathon training regime.

Thanks again for your time, and as always, any tips are welcome!
