Hello, I am raising funds for my Charity Transforming Autism, by running a 5k in November. While this may not seem like a big step for those accomplished runners amongst you, it will be a big step... and who knows I may make a half marathon next year.

I haven't run since my son was born- he's now 22, so I've got work to do, but with the support of the well-tried and tested couch to 5k and Steve Cram in my ear, I've made a start.

Well enough of me more of this great Charity. We are a small but ambitious charity providing crucial support to young autistic children and their families at a time when it can make a lifelong difference. Our approach is founded on an empowering conception of autism, having unlimited positive possibilities rather than one of constraints or impairments.

Your support would ensure we could reach even more families this year.
