and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Iain, who is supported by MacIntyre in Milton Keynes, was feeling a little lost with his daily routine disrupted and unable to see his friends.
He set himself the challenges to keep himself from getting bored. They included balancing on a plank for one minute, baking a cake, pedaling for 12 minutes on an exercise bike, ironing five shirts, washing his mum's car and facing his fear of cooking on the BBQ.

Hide AdA fundraising page was set up for people to make donations as Iain completed each challenge - and he soon surpassed his target of £200.


He plans to donate the money to MacIntyre, who provide learning, support and care for children, young people and adults who have a learning disability and/or autism.
Iain, who has spent lockdown at home with his family, said he was finding his challenges "excellent" and planned to do more.
His mum Liz said: "He's chuffed. This is really giving him a boost and it's something for him to focus on. I'm really proud of him."
