About Us

My son, Benjamin has quite a few challenges - he is autistic and has severe learning difficulties as well as physical issues such as coordination problems, epilepsy and very poor eyesight.

He can walk, but tires out easily, and might refuse to move if he thinks something in a different direction is more interesting, so we always take a wheelchair for him if we go anywhere in case he needs it.
Benjamin does not talk, but lets us know if he likes something by shouting excitedly.

I have fancied doing a sporting event with him for quite a while, because he likes going fast, but when he was less than 16 he was not allowed to enter half marathons etc. even in a wheelchair.   But now he is 16 we can think about entering something....  Best do it now before Benjamin gets too heavy, or I get too old!
