Autism is a difficult condition to understand and to identify. A normal day for most with this condition, can be full of nerves, anxiety and fear. People with Autism, feel and hear the world differently to others, and I am running to try and spread an understanding of it. 

I hope the money raised will go to helping research what is currently incureable. If you are Autistic, it is for life. Autism is not a disease, or an illness, it is fundamental aspect of your identity. I hope to raise some money, I hope to raise some awareness, but above all else, I hope to raise an understanding that people with Autism can achieve true greatness. Just look at Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mozart, Michelangelo, Sir Isaac Newton or Charles Darwin!

I want to raise an awareness that stops people judging, and gets people thinking. There is a reason that boy is crying, there is a reason that girl does not play with anyone or talk much. There is reason behind every action, and we need to take the time to understand that. I hope this goes some way to highlighting that.
