I am running the Great Glasgow run half marathon on Sunday 6th October. Bib number 17166!

I will be joining the throngs of thousands of runners, joggers and walkers.

Training has been going well although each year I am slower.

Park run every Saturday morning (5K) is my usual routine – usually with Spud the Spaniel although he has now retired (too old!)

I have no control over facial expressions when running (see photos)

As you know IWORK4ME believes that a meaningful employment experience is key to a successful and fulfilling life.

It is estimated that 1 in 100 adults in the UK are autistic, and of those 85% never succeed in holding down full-time employment. The stigma experienced can result in family conflict, a complete withdrawal from society and heavy reliance on state benefits.

Offering support in all aspects of business start-up and beyond, IWORK4ME's team of business coaches, regularly engage with autistic people, their families and circles of support to identify aspirations, options for, and skills relevant to the launch of viable small businesses through six-weekly 1:1 person-centred FREE coaching sessions via zoom.
