In 2026 I turn the big 50 ... and had my heart set on running the Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World.  What else would someone do for their birthday???

I will be running:

• 5km on Thursday 8th January
• 10km on Friday 9th January
• 21.1km (Half Marathon) on Saturday 10th January
• 42.195km (Marathon) on Sunday 11th January

And why not fundraise for a worthwhile charity while I'm doing this crazy thing?

Would you support me in this run by donating to Autism Speaks?

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.

Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. They empower people with autism and their families with resources, online tools and information covering the life span. 

Autism Speaks enhances lives today and is accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.

Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
