3 days to go... Thank you to everyone for your support and for donating your hard earned pennies :) xxx

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! As most of you will know I have a phobia of exercise so this is a big challenge for me, and I'm determined to do everyone, including my charity proud!</p> <p>Please dig deep and help me to achieve my goal and make a big contribution towards the work of NE-AS.</p> <p>If any of you want to come along to cheer me around the course on the day it will be great to see you there - I will need all the support I can get!!</p> <p>Rachael xx</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Autism is a serious, lifelong and disabling condition. Without the right support, it can have a profound -&nbsp;sometimes devastating - effect on individuals and families. </li> <li>Autism is much more common than many people think. There are over half a million people in the UK with autism - that's around 1 in 100. If you include their families, autism touches the lives of over two million people every day. </li> <li>Autism doesn't just affect children. Children with autism grow up to be adults with autism. </li> <li>Autism is a hidden disability - you can't always tell if someone has it. </li> <li>While autism is incurable, the right support at the right time can make an enormous difference to people's lives. </li> <li>Over 40% of children with autism have been bullied at school</li> </ul> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
