About my charity : TreeHouse TreeHouse
Generations of children with autism are not reaching their potential because of lack of investment in autism education. Without this they will be dependent on society to fund and care for them for the rest of their lives. Yet so much of this long-term expenditure could be avoided. With the right investment in early intervention we really can make a difference for all children with autism. Fundraising is very important to TreeHouse as we require over £1,000,000 in voluntary contributions each year, to continue our work. Without charitable support, TreeHouse could not maintain its intensive teaching and high quality resources offered to existing pupils or provide a nationally relevant solution to a growing national problem.

My personal message:

Welcome back to my fund-raising page for this year's London Marathon!
I am delighted to report I completed the Marathon - and did it in 4hours and 11 minutes. At one stage, I thought I'd break through the magical 4hour barrier but fell away towards the end. However, I felt so much better than last year, took nearly 30 minutes off last year's time and can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
But even more importantly, I have exceeded my fund raising target - and then some. I am so happy for Treehouse as it's a great cause and charity. Not only have I raised money online but offline too from personal donations so by the time I have totted all of those up, together with a few very generous promises I am looking at beating last year's total.
So, thanks to you all for being so generous.
And I have already started training for New York!
Thanks again for your sponsorship, encouragement and support from the bottom of my heart.
John Cross.
