Autism is a life long developmental disability that affects 1 in 100 people. It affects the way a person communicates and how they see the world around them.

Ambitious about Autism is the National Charity for autistic children and young people championing their rights and creating opportunities. They stand with autistic children and young people by providing services, raising awareness, understanding and by campaigning for change.

J is a 56 year old gentleman who is Autistic and lives in a residential home 'Ty Hendy' for learning disabilities in South Wales, he enjoys the outdoors very much and is always looking for new places to explore in the local area of walking routes/paths, often finding beautiful scenery to admire during the walk with the support of his support staff daily. We have decided to complete a walking challenge with J to fundraise towards autism awareness, we will be climbing Pen-Y-Fan on the 2nd of April 2026 to help celebrate Autism Awareness Day - we would appreciate any donation no matter how small towards our cause and look forward to completing to supporting each other through the challenge! Go team Ty Hendy!
