Heading the list of people we admire a great deal in this world is Philippe Leboeuf, a dashing French-Londoner who is CEO of The Dorchester Collection of the world’s best hotels. Philp is both a dedicated bicycler of rare skill but a fierce advocate for young children who are battling autism.

He believes every young autistic person deserves the chance to follow their goals. And he works hard to shine a light on their ambitions by pedaling up and down the most challenging hills and mountains to support the cause of Ambitious About Autism who offer a range of services that empower and support autistic young people.

About Autism works with autistic young people, their families, employers, and professionals to increase autism confidence and create opportunities. They provide specialist education to support autistic children and young people across London,
the Home Counties, and South East England.

We agree with Philip that even a small contribution could help an autistic young person feel less isolated and alone by giving them access to a special interest group on the much-respected Ambitious Youth Network.

With your help, a world where every autistic child and young person can be themselves and realize their ambitions can be created. We urge you to support this admirable effort and donate. Every little bit helps and the whole ENTREE team along with Philippe thank you.

PS On Sunday 28 June 2026, Philippe and his teamates will ride 220 miles in a single day from Manchester to London. A test of endurance, a journey that demands everything, and gives back more. They are taking on the Ambitious 220 Challenge to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism, this fine national charity standing with autistic children and young people.
