A team of 7 MathWorkers will be running the Cambridge Half Marathon on the 28th February in aid of Autistica. We're not experienced runners and are taking on this challenge at short notice. 

We aim to raise £2,500, this is enough to fund an entire year of a research fellow at the University of Warwick researching mental health problems in people with autism and intellectual disability, who are one of the most disadvantaged groups in society.

Your support is vital and much appreciated!

Autistica are the UK’s largest autism research charity funding world-class research that will make the biggest difference to people’s lives. Their research is guided entirely by the people they serve: the individuals and families living with autism every day.

1 in 100 people has autism and it’s much more challenging than most people realize in fact a quarter of those with autism will never learn to speak. With our help, Autistica will fund science to understand the condition better, improve diagnosis and develop new interventions so everyone with autism can fulfill their life’s potential.
