In May 2022, 11-year-old George, from Coventry, set out with the goal of raising enough money for his school to take part in the Neurodiversity Umbrella Project, to get 25 umbrellas, access to two online training sessions, and educational resources.
He planned to run 26 miles, the distance of a marathon, within the month. But that was just the start! As support grew for George’s efforts, he smashed his targets for distance and fundraising, and decided to continue crowdfunding so that other schools in his area could have an umbrella display.
By the end of 2022, George had raised just under £4000! An amazing achievement, and enough to fund 10 schools to be involved in the project.
He went on to win the ‘Community Project of the Year’ award from England Athletics in the West Midlands, and inspired other ‘Roarsome Runners’ to fundraise for the Neurodiversity Umbrella Project!
This year George and his Roarsome Runners are aiming to raise a total of £10,000 to support more Schools and communities across the UK with the umbrella installations for 2024. You can find out more about George’s efforts by following him on Instagram @roarsomerunnergeorge or by visiting the Roarsome Runners JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/team/roarsomerunners
Ran the Brighton Marathon for the ADHD Foundation.
David said:
“I am thrilled to be participating in the Brighton Marathon 2024, a challenging event that will test my endurance and determination. And now that I have simulated running the full marathon knowing I can do it, it will in theory make the day that bit less daunting! But this marathon is about more than just running; it’s an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those affected by ADHD and Neurodiversity.
As someone who has personally witnessed the impact of ADHD and Neurodiversity within my family, I am passionate about raising awareness and supporting the ADHD Foundation. This incredible organisation works tirelessly to provide resources, education, and advocacy for individuals with ADHD and Neurodiversity, helping them thrive in all aspects of life.”

Kelly said:
” I have chosen to run for The ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity as it is a charity that is close to home and has helped us over the years. It helps to enable children and adults to thrive and achieve in education, the workplace, enjoy good mental health and become active citizens in their communities. They do this by providing training, counselling, screening and support services through the whole lifespan.”

Ran the Edinburgh 10k for the ADHD Foundation.
“I wanted to run for the ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity as My 7yr old grandson has been diagnosed with ADHD so its something close to me.”
Ran the Edinburgh 10k for the ADHD Foundation.
“I am currently both pursuing an ADHD diagnosis myself through the NHS and also studying MSc Clinical Health Psychology. As I am fairly certain the cause of my problems with executive dysfunction throughout my life are down to suspected ADHD, I understand the importance of supporting and educating schools, parents and carers in understanding neurodiversity.
I also have a number of neurodiverse friends who have experienced similar misunderstandings and difficulties throughout their education and life as a whole so this charity is personal to me and I am glad to have found it.”
The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project is a celebration of the 1 in 5 human beings who 'Think Differently' by virtue of their dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and autism.
