Story

Baz has severe autism and has attended Kangaroos for over 20 years! He absolutely loves going to Kangaroos where he gets to see his friends and participate in lots of great activities.  Obviously things are very different at the moment. Usually Baz goes out five days a week; swimming, trampolining and walking miles which he really enjoys. We are self isolating so unfortunately Baz is unable to do a lot of the activities he enjoys. Although he is coping well, it's all very different. However, we recently introduced him to our treadmill and he absolutely loves it, especially walking as Queen (the band, not Elizabeth!) blares out!  Baz will continue to walk everyday and we will accumulate the distance each day to see how many marathons he completes until his 'norm' returns.
