I completed a 50K run last year in about 4 hours in aid of Autism Aware UK & it was a great achievement and i raised about £300
I really wanted to challenge myself this year so I decided to go for a 50 mile run, I’m already blown away by the support I’ve had so far. Please keep the donations coming strong its for a really great cause.

I will be taking part in the 2013 Potters Arf Marathon on June 9th this year, in aid of Autism Aware UK. Those that know me, will know Im not a runner at heart but thought this would be a great challenge and a fantastic way of raising money for the charity. The run starts from Hanley Town Centre from 10.30am, so feel free to come along on the day to give me a little shout of encouragement (I “may” need it!)
This is going to be a tough one for me so I hope you all dig deep & make it worth the pain!!

Fandoms 4 Autism (email)
Fandoms 4 Autism launched last year to help Autism Aware UK to raise money for the National Autistic Society. It was a great success and we raised just under £815 for NAS through them.
This year we’re back and aimng to raise £1,000 but this time the monies we raise will go straight to Kim and Jon’s charity. We’re creating a compilation of not only multiple fandom fanfiction but also of orginal fiction.

Hello My name is Amber, and I’m the niece of Kim and Jon Southall who run Autism Aware UK. Therefore this charity is very close to my heart and I always try my best to help out and fund raise as much money as possible.
I’m going to be doing a challenge where I’m going to be wearing my Pj’s for 3 days on the 3,4,5 august 2013.
During this time I’m going to be going out into the general public. I’m hoping to get a few other involved with this because every penny counts. Last year I did a sponsored silence so this year it’s time for something a little bit different.
