A huge thank you to fantastic fundraiser James Sprigg, who is taking on our London to Paris cycling challenge this summer!
Yes, James will be setting out on July 22nd to take part in the challenge of a lifetime, joining a group of cyclists on a thrilling charity bike ride, taking to the road in a series of exciting stages over four days.
The finale of the adventure will see James arrive in Paris just ahead of the riders from the Tour De France!
James said: “I decided to take on the challenge primarily because my youngest son, Harley (4) was diagnosed as autistic in 2025. It’s been a long and, at times, difficult process navigating assessments and getting the right support in place for him.
“Through that journey, I’ve seen first-hand how important specialist services, understanding, and early intervention can be for both children and families, which is why supporting Autism Together felt like a very natural fit.”
James, who is from Poole in Dorset, works in financial services and is the director of Imperial Paraplanning Ltd. Talking about the challenge ahead, he said:
“In terms of cycling, I’ve been riding on and off for a number of years, mainly as a way to keep fit. But this will be my first and the biggest, most demanding cycling event I’ve undertaken to date, which makes it even more meaningful to me.”
