Hello all!

As many of you may know, one of my naughty nephews (in this case Matthew) has a genetic disorder which presents as a form of Autism and ensures he is the very unique & special individual that he is.

As a neurodiverse child Matthew experiences the world in his own unique way (often resulting in or as an excuse for mischief!) but such a unique view often brings difficulties for him too. One of the places that has provided some valuable support to them is MyOTAS which is based locally to us in Wickford, Essex.

Many charities have struggled during Covid and more recently during the cost of living situation. So I urge anyone with a spare one or two pounds to please donate them to this fantastic & very local charity that has not only helped Matthew but has helped so many children in Essex.

In return, I will be attempting to run the London Marathon 2024! Some may even want to donate purely to watch me sweat through 26 odd miles of torture! - I accept this as a fair trade! :)

Thanks for reading & hopefully donating to support the ongoing wonderful activities of this Essex based charity & helping in some way to improve and enrich the lives of neurodiverse children.

See some of you at the finish line… or possibly in the ambulance! (PS I’m probably the one with the oxygen mask)

Dave :)
