Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm running the London Marathon again this year, after a couple of years off to recover from the last time...
This year I'm running for Child Autism UK, a small charity that does important work with children with autism, at a point where therapies and interventions can (as we've found with our son) make a huge difference. Some more info on the charity, and a link for those interested, below.
As ever any support gratefully received!
Thanks
Will
Child Autism UK helps children with autism achieve their potential. We provide services to enable children to overcome difficulties with communication, learning and life skills and give families the techniques and strategies to cope with autism through the use of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Child Autism UK also provides training and a network for ABA professionals working with young children.
Autism, according to the NHS Information Centre, is estimated to affect around 1% of the UK population. That’s 700,000 people who live with the condition. Autism is a lifelong condition with no cure but the difficulties people with autism face in life can be significantly managed through intervention at an early age. Skill and coping strategies learned as children have lifetime relevance and can make an enormous difference to their ability when they become adults with autism to make the most of their lives.
