DAY 1: SMASHED IT! 👟💥

Friday 27th Mar
I started Day 1 with a point to prove!

​My goal was 10,000 steps... but I didn't stop there. I’ve ended the day with 13,324 steps!

​After a slow start last week, this feels amazing. It wasn't easy, and my legs are definitely feeling it, but knowing I’m doing this for Walk for Autism 2026 kept me moving.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far—you’re the reason I’m out there hitting the pavement!

7 days to go, see you tomorrow for Day 2! ✌️

My Walk, My Voice: Why I’m Stepping Up for Autism 2026

Saturday 21st Mar

I’ve decided to take on the Walk for Autism 2026, but this isn’t just a charity event for me. It’s deeply personal.

​I am autistic, and I know firsthand that the world isn’t always designed with brains like mine in mind. I know exactly how hard it can be sometimes—navigating a world that can feel overwhelming, loud, or misunderstood. I’ve lived through the challenges, the sensory overload, and the days when everything feels just a bit more difficult than it should be.

​Why I’m Walking

​I’m taking these steps because I want to help make things a little easier for others who are walking the same path. I know how much it matters to have support, true understanding, and resources that actually work for us.

​By raising awareness and funds, I want to help create a world where autistic people don't just "cope" or "get by," but have the support they need to truly thrive. I’m walking to show that our experiences matter, that our voices deserve to be heard, and that we are a community that looks out for one another.

​My Goal: £250

​I have set a goal to raise £250. To some, it might just be a number, but to me, it represents more support, more patience, and more help for people who face the same daily hurdles I do.

​Every donation, no matter how small, tells me—and the entire autistic community—that we aren't walking alone.

​Thank you for standing with me, for listening to my story, and for helping me make a difference for a community that is such a big part of who I am.

Thank you to my donors
