April is autism awareness month. People that know me may or may not be aware but my son, Tyler, was diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum in spring 2019 when he was 6 years old. 

Since his diagnosis he has attended the A-Team support group every Saturday. 

This brilliant group is run by Leigh Community Trust and is a brilliant outlet for children with sensory and development difficulties. The staff are incredibly patient with all of the children and parents and the support they provide is great. They provide a safe environment where the children can express themselves without judgement and Tyler always finishes each session with excitement and looks forward in anticipation to the coming week.

I’m hoping to raise £500 for this amazing cause by either walking or running 100 miles over the course of April. This challenge will put me through uncomfortable situations, something autistic people have to deal with every day. 

Thank you

Michelle, Tyler & Family
