My Walk for Autism Challenge

Total 194,306 steps

My goal 80000 steps

Help make a difference 💚

Joseph was born in 2019 and is the Son of my best friend, Sannah. When Joseph was 10 months old, Sannah began to voice her concern regarding his slow progress in reaching average milestones. These concerns were disregarded by healthcare professionals until Joseph was around 2 years old. It was only in 2024 that Joseph was officially diagnosed, following his Mum tirelessly working to achieve this.  Joseph is a wonderful little boy. He is mostly non-verbal and struggles to communicate his needs at times. Despite this, he is very passionate about his likes, and dislikes. Having Joseph in my life has really highlighted the lack of support for both people with autism and those caring for them. I wanted to participate in this challenge to help raise funds towards an amazing cause. 

I'm walking for Joseph 💚

I am participating in this challenge in order to raise money for those with autism. Joseph is 5 years old and is my best friend’s Son. It is an honour to watch him grow and thrive.  For a mostly non-verbal child, he is the funniest and bossiest little boy.  Joseph has taught me to view the World in a completely different way. 

Walk for Autism is a fundraising challenge run by Autism Initiatives Group. Autism Initiatives Group is working towards a world where every autistic person has the support they need to thrive, every opportunity to fulfil their potential and a supportive, inclusive community to live in.

I'll be walking a total of 10,000 steps a day from 26th March to 2nd April to raise money for this charity.

Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated.
