Story
My son is 16 and has Aspergers. He struggles with social situations and meeting new people. He often feels like he doesn’t fit in with his peers and finds it difficult to make new friendships.
We were put in touch with a charity called Crossroads. They provided support to my son and the family, offered respite breaks and days out with other children with similar diagnosis. As like many charities, Crossroads have been affected by cutbacks. This has resulted in activities being stopped or reduced due to lack of funds.
I have recently found a love of running and was thinking i could make all the miles i run count for something. So i decided to raise money for Crossroads. I am running the Thatcham 5k Santa fun run in Dec 2017, Bayer 10k in May 2018 and The Great South Run in October 2018. Hopefully with some extra funds some well deserving special children and their families can beneifit from the wonderful work that Crossroads do . Please take a look at their web page to find out more about them
