Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Marco Gianetti I am 39 years old I live in Plymouth and I am autistic.

In 2009 after my mum died I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and the National Autistic Society helped me find a support worker who has worked with me to improve my social skills and confidence.

I want to give something back to show my gratitide so I am going to cycle from my home in Plymouth to the head office of the National Autistic Society in London.

I am also riding for AnnaKennedyOnline a charity that is dedicated to promoting the inclusion and equality of children and adults with a disability throughout society. Its mission of promoting disability equality by developing and sponsoring training, raising awareness of the challenges faced by people with disabilities and also its advocacy efforts with and on behalf of people with disabilities.

AnnaKennedyOnline are also the main sponsors of Marco's Big Ride and kindly donated the bike that will be used during the ride.

So please give generously as there are thousands of youngsters and adults in the UK with disabilities and every pound you give goes straight to the charities. If you're a UK taxpayer please click to add gift aid to your donation and even more money can be claimed.

I thank you personally for your donation and urge you to please tell all your friends and families and work colleagues about this and ask them to pop some money in the pot too even if it's only £1 as every penny really does make a world of difference.
