Charles Evans, who ran the Backwards Marathon last Sunday, has raised £4,188 for Autism East Midlands
The Backwards Marathon was an event that took place last Sunday at the Nottingham Recreation Ground and Charles ran 42 laps backwards to celebrate neurodiversity, as running forwards is 'boring'.
Alongside running 42 laps, Charles and his team are working on a documentary that will include an interview with Director Ben Brown. Here's a sneak peek
Thank you, Charles and your amazing team
