I've decided to raise some money for a cause that is so important to my family and I - Organisation for Autism Research (OAR).
This fundraiser is incredibly close to my heart because of my wonderful cousin, Florence, who is navigating both the challenges and the joys of living with autism. The way that Florence, as well as my amazing Aunt and Uncle, face the unique obstacles thrown their way is an inspiration. It has highlighted the importance of a better global understanding and acceptance of autism, and the need for meaningful support for families impacted.
OAR’s work is focused on providing practical, evidence-based resources and advancing research that will make a difference in everyday lives. Every contribution, big or small, would help move research forward and provide real-world support to families like my Aunt's.
Any donations would mean a lot to me and my family x
