Facebook friends supporting Autism
A big welcome to all of you who are linking up via Facebook - thanks for clicking!! Lots to look at and get involved in on the site. We appreciate anything you say, anything you can give and anyone you can send this blog on to. A "Fiver for Ivor" and send the link to 5 friends? Deal?? Thanks to you all.
Welcome to previous funders of CASPA
This post is a big welcome to all those who helped support CASPA (Children on the Autistic Spectrum Parents Association) two years ago when we ran 50K over a weekend. We raised £8500 together and it made a massive difference to the young people at CASPA.
This year we are going for an even more ridiculous target - London to Brighton in four days!! This will be about 55 miles and will cover more than a half marathon each day!!
Please support in any way you can - ideas on the right. Pass this blog to anyone who you think would support us as we run. Keep in touch through comments, texts, facebook, twitter or even email!!

The District Line 20K
Saturday saw a team of seven of us running the 20K between Upminster Bridge station and West Ham station on the District Line. This is an interesting route with fields and parks giving way to streets and finally the Greenway on top of the main sewer out of East London.
We needed the run. For some it was a psychological barrier, for others a test of fitness with 8 weeks to go until the event. But on the day we had a beautiful run. Cold but sunny, a cafe at the end with all we could eat and the camaraderie of runners pushing themselves for nearly two and a half hours.
