<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>A colleague of mine has been involved with Autism Jersey for several years and took part in the Jordan trek last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. After seeing a poster at work for the 2012 Trek to the Pyrenees I thought this would be a good opportunity to challenge myself whilst raising money for a very worthy cause. Autism Jersey are hoping to develop an Autism Centre in Jersey and the money raised from this trek will kick-start the fundraising for this. </p>
