To celebrate my two year anniversary of being Daisy Chain’s first Autistic Trustee, I’m going to walk 55 miles from the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough to St James’ Park in Newcastle, via Victoria Park in Hartlepool, Durham CCC’s International Cricket Ground in Chester-Le-Street, Stadium of Light in Sunderland and Gateshead International Stadium.

So why am I doing this?

It is estimated that 1 in 100 children, teenagers and adults in the UK are autistic; community and corporate fundraising helps us to support and empower autistic and neurodivergent individuals through the provision of holistic person-centred services, whilst promoting training, wellbeing, inclusion and acceptance regionally and nationwide.
