Antarctica Marathon for Cheshire Autism

Update - the North Pole Marathon has been cancelled so I’ve quickly changed to run the Antarctica marathon. Still as cold and as hard and even harder to get to!

When I thought about how to raise some money for an amazing charity, who have really helped us as a family, I thought ‘what’s the hardest thing I could do?’

Well my answer was to run a marathon in April 2023 at the North Pole, just getting there is a challenge but running on snow in temperatures of -30 to -50 make this daunting to say the least.

But hopefully this enables me to try to raise as much as possible for Cheshire Autism Practical Support to continue the incredible work they do to help families like ours. When our now 6 year old son Thomas was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum we didn’t know where to turn for help and support. Luckily we found Cheshire Autism Practical Support who helped us with everything ranging from courses for us to learn more about autism and how we could better support him to dedicated swimming lessons for him. I want to raise as much money as possible to mean they can help more people like us and more children and adults like Thomas.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated, I will keep my progress updated on LinkedIn and Facebook ranging from training to the marathon itself.

Thanks

Chris
