Raising money for

TreeHouse

Charity Registration No. 1063184

Autism affects 1 in every 100 children. That means that every week, 115 of the babies born in the UK are likely to go on to receive a diagnosis of autism.

Children with autism have profound difficulties with communication, imagination and social skills. Parents of children with autism are told that education is the only thing proven to unlock the potential of their children, offering them a better future. However there is a dire lack of both professionals with autism-specific training and specialist school places.

TreeHouse exists to transform through education the lives of children with autism and the lives of their families. With your help we can educate children, support parents, train professionals and influence policymakers.

My story

I'm taking part in this years Royal Parks half marathon in order to raise both funds and awareness for the fantastic charity TreeHouse. These people help thousands of children, like my nephew Archie along with their families deal with the condition of autism.

TreeHouse help children reach their true potential with support and guidance; they transform lives for both the children and their families with their expertise and experience.

To help TreeHouse I'm dusting off my old trainers and preparing to give my body the shock of its life by attempting to run a half marathon! Please do not expect a miracle course time as my training schedule has not exactly been regimented. However, I do intend to run the full thirteen miles, somehow!

So please dig deep and give generously, its not painful at all and very simple to do; the only pain will be me crossing the finishing line!
