<p>hi my name is Andrea, i am mum to Tyler almost 8 & Daniel 6. Tyler was diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder at the age of 4 1/2. Thanks to his pre-school manager who noticed him first, he got early intervention. i had to fight for 4 years to get him into the BEST school for him. for 2 years i shut myself away. unknowing of the community which awaited me :-D last year we went on our 1st holiday (just he 3 of us) to a place called Este Dean. there we met families who knew of the struggles & fights we too face every day. from this experience we found ourselves among friends & from these new friends also came the ASD family support group x x x i know attend my local group every monday morning. it has been a lifeline from a once dim place. I am soooo very grateful for there support & friendship xXx this is why ALL monies raised will go to them. however, This is just 1 reason why me & my younger brother are doing this walk. We want to raise the awareness of, not just ASD, but ADHD, Aspergers, Autism. I believe it is time we told people that our children are NOT naughty, or we are bad parents, because WE ARE NOT.............</p>
<p>We do everything we can for our children, just like everyone else!!!!!!</p>
<p>We can raise awareness, One child at a time xXx</p>

<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
