Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

 

As you all know, I'm not exactly the queen of fitness, but I've decided that this would be a great thing to do - to raise some money for a fantastic cause, and also to prove that yes I can run if I put my mind to it (even if it is "like a girl"!)

Autism affects 1 in 100 people. It's a hidden disability which means that often it gets overlooked and doesn't attract the same level of attention (and funds) as something like cancer. What's amazed me since I became involved with Autism West Midlands is how many people have a friend, a sibling, or other family member with autism, and how the smallest thing can make the world of difference to the lives of people with this condition.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now - I promise I'll send you mockable photos and videos to laugh at!
