London Marathon 2020 for my Autistic Brother

[p]I'm running the [b]London Marathon 2020 for Mencap [/b]and my severely autistic brother, [b]Adam[/b]. [/p][p]They are the Official Charity Partner of the race and I have taken it on myself to run a [b]GUINNESS WORLD RECORD Marathon dressed AS A STAR[/b] in less than 4 hours, 5 minutes and 42 seconds. [/p][p]Adam is 26 now and my family have fought hard for him to live a life without boundaries. It's not been an easy journey but he's now settled in a care home in West Wales. [/p][p]He has inspired me to do everything in my life from running to pursuing a career in journalism and I've supported Mencap for many years now.[/p][p]This is because of the amazing work they do in Wales and the rest of the UK to support families like mine to access valuable support and fight for the rights of disabled people. [/p][p]Please consider donating to the amazing charity that will help vulnerable people across Wales and Britain like my brother. Any donations welcome.
