It's true, I am fundraising for Autism Concern. It's not easy fundraising, there's a balance to be struck between bullying people into donating, when actually they don't wish to, or cannot afford to, and asking for nothing, and most often getting it!!
But it's fun too. Life is so much richer, the more you give, and giving does not need to be money. Your time, care, a smile, a well done, or just a good luck all add value. Each gift you offer is received with grateful appreciation. A smile, and a word of encouragement is often the most valuable commodity you can offer. Ask your children??And so it is with for people with Autism. Often misunderstood...naughty, out of control, poorly parented kids, making a nuisance of themselves? It's easy to miss the point. Compassion, care and patience are the gifts they need. Autism Concern helps children with autism reach their potential...helps to recognise that the rarest stones are the most valuable.
Kilimanjaro will be an amazing adventure for me, one which I've dreamed of for many years. To be able to realise my dream, whilst helping others reach theirs is my gift. If you can donate, please do....it's infectious...a gift freely given can help the lives of thousands of children, and families. Thank you
