I am raising money for Autism East Midlands as they are a truly great service who have done a lot for my family. My brother, Jack, has attended their day service for several years, giving my family the much needed respite so that we are able to give Jack the best care possible.

Jack has also loved having the routine of somewhere to go Monday to Friday where he can interact with peers. During lockdown Jack struggled with not being able to complete his usual routine and only interacting with our family at home due to the restrictions and for his own safety. AEM has had a massive part in integrating him back into the community once the restrictions were lifted.

It is so hard to put your trust in others when it comes to the care of a loved one and it means a lot to have a service we trust for Jack. Please donate to my cause as I run the Manchester marathon!
