Hi Everyone: Thank you so much for sponsoring us on the BUPA London 10,000 10K run. The running team has grown!! Mark, his brother Paul and I are running for the very reputable charity, Autism Speaks. I recently reconnected with an old school friend who has a 6 year old son with severe Autism. Soon after learning about her son, I reconnected with another old school friend who has three children with Autism. This made the decision to run for Autism very easy. Autism is a brain development disability that is usually diagnosed within the first three years of a child's life. Autism has three distinctive behaviors all of which range in severity. These are difficulties with social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive behaviors. There is currently no cure for Autism, however, early intervention has proven to be very effective. This is a very simple and secure way to sponsor us online. Any size donation is very much appreciated. Love, Rachel, Mark and Paul
