Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I will be jumping out of a plane from 10,000 feet in a tandem skydive as I want to help improve awareness of Autism and the importance of early detection. 

I am also doing it for my beautiful Nephew who was recently diagnosed as being on the Autistic spectrum. He is a magical little boy and makes my heart melt every time I see him! The jump took place today 29th July 2014 at Skydive St George at Durham Tees valley airfield. 

Any support you can provide to help increase awareness of this condition is greatly appreciated! 

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them.

It is a spectrum condition, which means that, while all people with autism share certain difficulties, their condition will affect them in different ways. Some people with autism are able to live relatively independent lives but others may have accompanying learning disabilities and need a lifetime of specialist support. People with autism may also experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light or colours.
