The National Autistic Society exists to champion the rights and interests of over half a million people with autism and to ensure that they and their families receive quality services appropriate to their needs.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please think about sponsoring me online.
From the 21st April to 1st May 2007, I will be doing a sponsored Trek to the Himalayas to raise money for the National Autistic Society. The cause is close to my heart as I currently voluntarily befriend an 8 year-old on the Autistic spectrum. I will be trekking to heights of 3500m and will be covering a distance of approx 55km over 5 days.
Any sponsorship would be great - as little/much as people can afford.
Re-cartridge; Art of Cards; Bargain Booze; Victoria Cabs; Poppadoms ;Yan hair salon; Morelli's Barbers shop and Fingerprints delicafe on Queen's Road, Leicester have already been kind enough to offer me support - please thank them by visiting their stores
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Autistic Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
The money I raise will go toward much needed causes.
£15 could help pay for a helpline counsellor to send information on autism to support 5 families
£25 would pay the first stages of training a befriender (of which I am one), who can help support families affected by autism
£50 would give 10 people access to the NAS telephone helpline
£100 could help pay for a full diagnosis of a child at our assessment centre
So please sponsor me now! Please give what you can, because every bit helps
Many thanks for your support. Gem xx
