Autism Initiatives challenged colleagues from more than ten different teams to ‘dash across Liverpool’ and run, jog or walk the 5K fun-filled festive event fuelled by real Christmas spirit.?It is a real testament to the commitment and dedication of the charity’s amazing staff that so many chose to take part, forming the largest team in this year’s dash!
Miss Rawlings joined the organisation in September and was blown away by the ‘services and support on offer to autistic people and their families delivered by the charity’, and didn’t hesitate in taking up the challenge.
She won’t be doing it alone.
Marea said:?“I’m so passionate about the work the charity delivers that my 5-year-old son will be running with me in his mini-Santa suit”.
Miss Rawlings added: “With so much uncertainty in the world, the children and young people the charity support need services now more than ever”.?
