My brother has autism (a type known as aspergers) and after the suffering both him and my family have been going through due to this illness, I would love to be able to raise some money to donate to a cause which can really benefit those suffering from this awful condition.

Myself (Josh) and my best mates Luke, Tom and Soheil have all agreed to shave our heads in order to raise money for autism, so people can understand this condition and get involved to help those affected by it. We are looking to raise over £100, as we believe this money would contribute towards more support for those needing help surrounding autism.

Autism is one of the most common conditions in the UK, however despite this many people don't understand how the illness can affect the suffer and his/her's family and friends. The National Autistic Society do their best to spread awareness for the condition and help make a big difference in the lifes of both the sufferer and their relatives.

For more information on this wonderful charity and on autism in general, a link to their website is just below:

Thank you for any support you guys give it would mean the absolute world to me if we can raise this money and make a positive difference for autism.
