On Sunday 27th April I will be running the London Marathon and raising money for The National Autistic Society.

Those that know me, know that I am not a long distance runner and the thought of running 26.2 miles is quite honestly terrifying. Those that know me also know that I am an “all or nuffin” kinda gal and so what better challenge than my first marathon to raise money for this brilliant cause.

In our family, we view Autism as a superpower and not something to hide. I would love to help more families like mine navigate their lives in a world that isn’t always kind or helpful to those who were born different. Working for the past 3 years in a London climbing wall, I’ve seen first hand the positive impact that the right activity or sport can have on a young person with Autism.

Thank you in advance for any contribution made to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about The National Autistic Society: Founded in 1962, we are the UK's leading charity for autistic people and their families. Our goal is to help transform the lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people.
