Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, learning about 'Ambitious about autism' and if possible, donating.

  I am taking part in a Jailbreak Hitch-hike as a rather unconventional way to raise money and awareness for 'Ambitious about autism' to help the charity grow and continue helping those in need.

 Around 700,000 people in the UK alone have autism which is more than 1 in every 100 people.  I have chosen this charity in particular because they support children with autism in schools, this is important because it provides an essential foundation which can be built upon to improve the living standards of those that autism affects. You can learn more about the charity on their website www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/

  On march 23rd, the event begins and in groups of 2, we have 36 hours to get as far away from Leeds as possible with no money, to make it more interesting it is a competition.

  GPS updates will be posted to see who is where, in previous years some groups have made it as far as Malaga and Austria whilst most eventually reach Holland.

  I have set myself a target of £200 to raise but I'm sure I can easily surpass that with your kind donations to a very important cause.

  I will be wearing a T-shirt with the charity on during the event and nagging any ears that will hear me out to spread the awareness as far and wide as I can.

   I will post on the page after the event to let you know how much luck I've had hopefully ending up somewhere interesting!

  Thank you!
