This October, I’m walking 100 miles for River and for the 700,000 autistic people and their families in the UK.

The National Autistic Society is a life line for families like ours: running specialist schools, campaigning for rights and training workplaces to be more autism-friendly.

They don’t speculate about the causes of Autism, they focus on what really matters: supporting Autistic people to live in a world that understands and includes them.

River has taught me that with the right support, acceptance, and opportunities, Autistic children thrive. But families can’t do it alone and that’s why this challenge matters.

Every mile I walk is for him and for every Autistic person who deserves a society that works for them. Any donation, big or small, will make a real difference. Thank you.
