We are taking on the Super 60 Challenge this 2022 World Autism Acceptance Week to help change attitudes and to transform lives for autistic people.

Inspired by Brendan, our autism family will be doing the Super 60 Challenge as a family. We will be doing 60km run in 6 days during Autism Awareness Month in April to raise autism awareness and funds to support National Autistic Society as long term members of the society. We even have our beloved dog M, trained as B's pet therapy dog joining in for some of the run! Last year, we have raised over £3000.00 and we have been fundraising each year raising over £10,000 in total for autism

Brendan was diagnosed with high level support/severe autism at age 2 and was non-verbal until he was 9 years old. Today, he still struggles with speech, verbal dyspraxia, learning disabilities, ADHD, severe anxiety, self harm and aspects of daily living. He  attends an autism special school Abbots Lea in Liverpool. 

His brother Darren was born with congenital deafness and has been featured in the BBC for scoring the highest MENSA score.
