Hey All, This is the first of many longer races I plan on running for charity in the future! I find running to be cheaper than joining a gym, so that's why I do it! The charity I'm supporting for this half-marathon is Autism Speaks. As you might know, I have taught a number of students with autism, as it may affect as many as 1 in every 100 children. There is debate about it's causes and how to best work and teach people with autism, but research in the field has come a long way over the past 10-15 years. Check out www.autismspeaks.org.uk for more information about the charity! Oh, and don't forget to cheer me on on October 12th for the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon in London! The race starts and ends near Harrods, outside the south end of Hyde Park. Hope to see you there! God Bless, Adam Below is a generic statement telling you about your money and how it may help other causes along with Autism Speaks! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
