This is my wonderful 8 year old son, Nathaniel. He was diagnosed with autism 4 years ago. This year, I have decided to follow in the crazy/brave footsteps of my wife; Pam, and entered the London 2017 Marathon running for the National Autistic Society (NAS).

My goal (other than finishing and having some fun along the way) is to raise money in order to provide awareness about autism and how it impacts those individuals and families affected by it. I want people with autism, like Nathaniel, to have the best opportunities in their lives and to be appreciated for their uniqueness and different ways of thinking. The NAS do a fantastic job raising a wider understanding of this condition as well as providing families and friends the support they need in dealing with the complexities in life that come with it.
