Laura & Louie-Jae

Total 538,605 steps

My goal 80000 steps

We've done it!!!

Thank you everyone, we've smashed our target and have walked over 330,000 steps/ 147 miles, with 116,000 step being in the last 8 days. We have raise £279 in total 👏

We have had a absolute blast doing this fundraising event but non of it would have achieved without the support from everyone who donated, you guys are the real heros ❤️😘

Thank you each and everyone of you who have not only donated but supported us throughout Louie-Jaes journey and continue to do so, Louie-Jae is so lucky to be surrounded by so much love. 

Day 1 complete

Well day one has been even an absolute joy, the great weather & lots of sensational views (sorry for lack of photos, silly me forgot to charge phone 🙈)

We spoke to a young lady whom herself was struggling to get help for her son and gave her phone numbers/ Facebook links to organisations that could help her get the support she needs. This is what this event is about, advocating and also helping other in need.

We had walked 19,861 steps today, we ache but it's worth the endless blisters to know we are doing our bit to support others with autism.

We go again tommorrow! 

Trainings going extremely well 🚶‍♀️

We've been working hard on walking further and getting fitter and already smashing in over 200,000 on just 13 days. It's hard graft but definitely worth the aching and the blistered feet. 

This week we will also have some merchandise to sell in hope of boosting our overall fundraising target so keep your eyes peeled for those, more details to follow on Facebook in coming days. 

Thank you for your support as always

L & L 💚💚

We can't wait to get started, Thank you for your support 💙

I'm walking for our son Louie-Jae

I’m raising funds for autism! Please sponsor us today! We are taking part in the Walk for Autism challenge in honour of our son Louie-Jae. 

Louie-Jae is a energetic, loving, affectionate, kind hearted, sensitive and very happy young boy, who as buckets of energy loves to dance & run around. 

Louie-Jae has just recently recieved his diagnosis after waiting 5 years. Louie-Jae has sensory processing disorder (SPD) which is a neurological condition in children that can affect the way the brain processes information from the senses. 

People with sensory processing disorder may be extra sensitive to or not react to sensory input, depending on how they are affected 

Examples of sensory input may include: 

●Light

●Sound

●Taste

●Touch

●Smell

Children who have sensory issues may have a versions to things that over stimulate their senses, such as loud environments, bright lights, or intense smells. Or,they may seek out additional stimulation in settings that don't stimulate their senses enough.

We did this amazing event last year as a family and loved it, so we wanted to do it again in aid of raising money for such a  fab cause not only raising awareness of autism, but to educate others and advocate for all families in this amazing world of autism and the joys it brings.

We will be walking 10,000 steps a day from 26 March to 2 April. Please sponsor us, Anything helps . Walk for Autism is a fundraising challenge run by Autism Initiatives Group. Autism Initiatives Group is working towards a world where every person on the autism spectrum has the support they need to thrive, every opportunity to fulfil their potential and a supportive, inclusive community to live in.

We hope you can help us in reached our target.
