National autistic society skydive

Hellooo….my name is Katie (blonde girl in the photo lol) and I have set up this go fund me with my friend Lauren as we will be taking part in a charity skydive jump in order to raise money for the national autistic society. We are both extremely passionate and excited to raise money for the national autistic society as they are very close to home

As you can see next to me in the photos is a younger blonde boy called Sam, this is my little brother who has autism, he was diagnosed around the age of 4 and is now 14, he is the main reason for my charity jump, he is so unique in so many different ways I couldn’t imagine my life without him, as I am sure many others who live or have friends with autism would agree!!!!!

we hope that this raises awareness and improves the support for people with autism, people who care for people with autism, people who want to learn more about it and many more ❤️

We are incredibly grateful for donations and shares!!!!

love Katie and Lauren
