Luke's bit: We're climbing Kilimanjaro to raise money for Research Autism in 2012. Research Autism is the only charity in the UK exclusively dedicated to help and intervention in Autism.

Me and my family have struggled (yes, struggled, i'm going to use that word,) with autism for as long as I can remember - me, all my brothers, and one of my sisters are all at various points along the autism spectrum. (I keep trying to tell them it's not a race, but i'm the furthest along. Sorry, bad joke.)

Also, When we reach the target, i'm also going to donate £150 (so to speak, I don't tend to carry that much in my pockets,) to AMDA Tsunami Relief, with Rose Charities.

Lizza's bit: So, we have decided to climb the tallest mountain in Africa. It's a bit crazy, but it's all for a cause that needs the attention it deserves! The money you donate will be put towards research into new interventions, which will result in a greater quality of life for anyone affected (directly or indirectly) by autism. 

Any donation, however small, including that pound from down the back of the sofa, or a couple of coins from your copper jar, is always greatly appreciated. Good things come to those who raise :)

Pretty please give generously!
