An inspiring eight-year-old schoolboy from Abertillery has completed an incredible 100-mile walking challenge for charity. Reuben Pascoe smashed his original target by 40 miles during the month of June, raising £1,000 to support the National Autistic Society.
Personal Motivation
Reuben chose the charity because his uncle Sam has autism, a condition that affects how people interact with the world. Determined to make a difference, the youngster walked every single day in all kinds of weather to achieve his goal.
Balancing School and Sports
Throughout June, Reuben balanced his daily walks alongside school work and a busy schedule of five different sports. His dedication paid off, and he far exceeded his original 60-mile target.
Family Pride
His proud family hope his story will show that age is no barrier to making a difference. They want to inspire other people in the community to support good causes. Reuben’s achievement highlights how even young individuals can contribute meaningfully to charitable efforts.
