Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

For 45 years we’ve led the way in supporting autistic and neurodivergent individuals, and their families, across the North East of England. We work to create a society where autism is understood and accepted, inclusion is the norm, and autistic people can lead fulfilled lives.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've chosen to run The Great North Run 2026 for North East Autism Society.

Both my children were diagnosed at age 3 with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Autism affects pretty much everything in our lives, every day. Unfortunately, after diagnosis, you receive very little information or help, you're pretty much left to navigate this completely new and complex diagnosis on your own. So, I know how much services from charities can help and be vital for families just like mine. The North East Autism Society do some great work for local people with, suspected with or caring for others with Autism.

I have a big target of £400 to hit, so any donation is greatly appreciated. And all money goes to an amazing cause, helping so many families in our region.
