Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. As you may know I'll be running the relay in the Edinburgh Marathon in May this year (yes you read that correctly....stop laughing now - I'm the athletic one in the middle of this photo....aahem!) Please dig deep, this is a really great cause!

Autism is not rare.  Today in the UK there are over 500,000 individuals with some form of autistic spectrum condition.  However, very little is known about the best ways of assisting them, and affected individuals and their families are vulnerable in the face of an increasing number of supposed cures or ‘miracles’.  Research Autism is the only charity focused exclusively on building a solid research base to document interventions for autism rather than its causes.  It aims to be the ‘trusted voice’ that those affected so desperately need for guidance on effective and scientifically researched treatments.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Research Autism gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
