My Story

I am running to raise vital funds for the National Autistic Society because Autism is super close to my heart, my daughter was diagnosed at 7 years old. It's been a constant struggle since she was very little and getting her diagnosed was really tough, lots of people said she was just naughty and it was a phase, but I knew my daughter and I knew she couldn't control the way her brain was reacting, 

we now live everyday around her needs, we have a daily routine that we try our upmost to not break as this keeps her sensory overloads to a minimum, it's not easy for Elyssia having autism and she begs me to not have it, but she is unique she is our superstar and through everything she's been through as a child,  not knowing why she's getting these feelings of frustration and still being a happy funny daughter, 

I want to run the London marathon for all the family and relatives who love someone with autism as I understand personally as a family how hard it is to get the help and support! this charity helps with supporting families in this situation so please help me chase that target for this wonderful charity and help lots of people who struggle daily,

thanks so much for reading and I hope you can support me in this challenge,
