On World Autism Awareness Day I thought it was a good time to share...

I am running the 2025 London Marathon for the Avenues Group. This charity specialises in supporting autistic people and people with learning disability enjoy fulfilling lives. My beautiful son, Arthur, is autistic and non-verbal and faces many daily challenges. Many people question the things Arthur can't do, but he will always be defined by what he can. Arthur has taught me the greatest gift in life and that is that love needs no words.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them. In return, they will teach you about life and what really matters.

ASD children need our help as specialist schools up and down this country are overworked, understaffed and full, and children are unable to receive the education and support they so desperately need and deserve. Charities like Avenues Group provide them with a chance.
