Aston: I first met Anna and the team in 2015 when I performed at autisms got talent. From meeting the team I was made to feel welcome and included. I have struggled with my mental health and was becoming accepting of my autism and poor health. I was running events called autistic and proud when Anna asked me to become an ambassador. From then on I have never looked back and I want to raise more acceptance and help the charity as much as I can. This jump is to show everyone that despite my health conditions and despite my autism I can show the world what I can do. My name is Aston Avery I am autistic and doing this jump makes me very proud!

Please get behind us and show the world what we can do!

Lisa: I am doing this sky dive because the charity sponsored events I’ve completed so far are always walking related. I’ve always wanted to jump out of an aeroplane and do a huge challenge for myself so bring it on. AKO is very important to me as a charity. Since meeting Anna, working with the charity and learning about Autism it now holds a very special place in my heart ❤️ the events we put on, the children and adults we meet along the way and the friendships that are formed within our AKO family is just heartwarming.

The awareness and acceptance that still needs to be shared is vital for everyone with Autism and their friends and family. I’m jumping to scream out the message loud and clear.. Autism acceptance and awareness is key!

Steven: I first met Anna and the team back in 2014 when I judged “Wear if for Autism “ I thought I was helping a charity as I had many a time . Little did I know it changed my life and introduced me to a new family that welcome me. It was so fortunate to be asked to be one of their patrons.

Anna

'I have always had a great fear of heights I feel nauseous just going on the London Eye.

After seing a video by a parent and grandparent who also had a great fear of heights and now she is going to do paragliding she has convinced me to give it a go and get over my fear Eek

So I thought to myself 'Come on Anna get a grip and jump for our charity .

So here I go ...whooosh Please support us all because we love what we do ! '
