Autonomie has helped our family massively providing opportunities for Hannah to make new friends and tackle challenging opportunities. Their staff have provided Fionnuala and I support and advice and are always available when we need them. They are a small, but vitally important charity who give so much for young people with disabilities. My daughter, Rebecca, and I are proud to give a little back by running a leg of the Belfast Marathon for their relay team. - Stephen Black

Once more I am dragging my broken body around a leg of the Belfast Marathon to raise money for a small local charity called Autonomie.Many of you will know about my daughter Niamh and the challenges that she has faced and now as a young adult it is charities like A utonomie that help her build her confidence and develop and build both social and independent living skills. In a time of austerity any small donation to this great cause would be greatly appreciated. - Peter Quinn

"Autonomie is an amazing Charity to be involved with, the work they do literally changes peoples lives. As Autonomie is a charity-based organisation - I know the importance of fundraising and the difference any money can make so this has given me the drive to get myself fit and encourage my friends and family to donate. - Emma Cockcroft
