The Wall 2025

By James Berry

**Support My Journey Along The Wall for Peterhouse School**

Hi, I’m James - a dad, a runner (sort of), and someone who's about to take on the most challenging race of my life to support a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart.


This June, I’ll be running "The Wall," a 70-mile ultramarathon from Carlisle to Newcastle. For context, I’ve never ran more than 10 miles in my life, but every mile is worth it to raise funds for Peterhouse School. 


Peterhouse is more than just a school-it's a lifeline for children and young people with autism, including my son. Their dedication and specialised care have changed not only my son’s life but also the lives of countless other families who rely on their incredible work.


Peterhouse is part of Autism Initiatives, a leading organisation that empowers autistic individuals to thrive. For my family, Peterhouse has been a constant source of support, and inspiration—and now, I want to give back.


This race will be challenging but still isn’t comparable to the challenges people with autism face on a daily basis. 


Your support means the world to me. Whether you can make a donation or share my fundraising page, every bit of support counts. 

Thank you for helping me turn every mile into a milestone for this amazing cause!
