In April 2026, I will be running the Manchester Marathon to raise money for the National Autistic Society

In August 2024, I was diagnosed with autism. Receiving my diagnosis helped me better understand myself — my strengths, my challenges, and how I experience the world. It has been an important and empowering journey.

For over three years, I have also had the privilege of working with students with autism. Supporting them, learning from them, and seeing their individuality and potential every day has made this cause incredibly close to my heart.

That is why I have decided to take on 26.2 miles — not just as a personal challenge, but to raise awareness and funds for a charity that provides vital support, guidance, and advocacy for autistic people and their families.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help make a real difference. If you are able to support me, I would be so grateful. And if not, sharing this post would mean just as much.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me — let’s make every mile count.
