Thank you 💚

I just want to say a huge thank you to some very special people in my life for giving me a reason to keep going with this challenge and for giving me pep talks and positivity when I needed it most.
💚 My husband, Paul. Through this whole challenge you've encouraged, supported and even joined in with me during these past 8 days. Because of you we have our beautiful children. I love you so much. Thank you 😘

💚 My children, you've been the main reason for me taking this challenge on and to keep going. You saved me when I needed saving most. You've gave me moments of tears, joy and laughter. And now I do this in honour of you both being able to grow in a world that is more accepting of you and your beautiful minds and souls. I'm so proud to be your mum. 😘

💚 My mum, thank you so much for giving me pep talks, for talking to me and for letting me just do my thing and still get your support on everything I chose to do even if you don't agree. Thank you & I love you loads. 

And a huge thank you to some others for donating prizes, sponsoring and for buying raffle tickets. 💚

Without you guys I wouldn't have made it this far or having gone past my goal for my sponsorship money. 💚

My reason why...

As a mother and wife, life can sometimes get abit hectic. But my two children are both Autistic. They struggle to express their emotions in the right way, they struggle daily to understand their surroundings, the way people are and why things happen and why things change. My children are my world. I wouldn't change them for anything.

But being a mother to Autistic children as well as being ADHD (And possibly autistic myself) life has a lot of ups and downs and it's constantly a roller coaster daily. Some days will be great and full of belly laughing, silly moments and wonderful smiles. But alot of the days can be daunting, tears, tantrums, overwhelming feelings, not being able to go anywhere on time, the occasional smiles, the feeling of being worn out emotionally and physically. 

But would I change my children? Would I change who they are, their personalities, their beautiful selves? Of course not! I'd love for it to be easier but sometimes that can't be helped. 

So I do this challenge as not only a way to raise awareness and help for autism and autistic families. But also to show my children that I love them and support who they are, their traits, their uniqueness and their crazy little wonderful selves. ❤️

I'm walking for......My children

I’m raising funds for autism! Please sponsor me today! I’m taking part in the Walk for Autism challenge. I’ll be walking 25,000 steps a day from 26 March to 2 April. Please sponsor me. Anything helps . The reason behind me doing this, is because of my two beautiful children. Effie & Antman (their nicknames), they are my world and sometimes the world itself can be such an overwhelming thing to my kids. Which is why I'd like to join this challenge and do something to help others that have autism too. 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.

Thank you for any sort of support or donation ❤️
