Story
I will be running the Battersea Park Half Marathon on the 27th July 2024 in aid of the Sycamore Trust UK. The Sycamore Trust is a charity based in Barking and Dagenham which supports individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and their families.
In 2020 my youngest sister Evie was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and this has become a part of our everyday life as a family to support her.
Evie joined a girls club run by the Sycamore Trust, for girls/ women with autism which she has attended every Saturday for the last year. The club has done so much to support Evie and she has even been awarded a Jack Petchey for her outstanding efforts on a recent outdoor activity week.
The Sycamore Trust has given my little sister a place where she can speak to girls who face similar challenges as her, allowing her to make friends and just be herself outside of our house. The Sycamore Trust is a fantastic charity who support my sister and parents, along with hundreds of other families in Havering.
