I cannot do the ride, but I can vouch for the services of the NAS.

My youngest son has Aspergers Syndrome - I guess if you read the description on the NAS site, you might be frightened of it, but I would not change anything - he is a real tonic when I have days where things go wrong at work or home.

My wife and I are on a course at present, learning how to deal with difficulties which will crop up in the years to come as he gets older - I'll mention it there! :)

Yes... Ern NAS are well worthy as a cause. I have booked hold to do this myself. My mates have pledged ... I will make cash for them on my bicycle.


I hope any browsers and lurks will lend supprot to this/

www.autism.org.uk



If you care.. and especially to the lurks who moan but never actually DO anything other that BITCH about thos who DO :wink: . then sign up to this cause. NAS need help badly.. as do the children afflicted with this through no fault of their own and their parents who just need a week off duty once per year!

I put my money where my mouth is. I ride that bike every hard mile to help someone. Not "easy rides" but the ones which make you earn the sponsored cash in sweat and endeavour. Yeahh .. I admit it's better than "chugging" :lol:


By riding .. am not "in someone's face"... I bartered for sponsorship per mile or "completion" in advance. I can guarantee the minimum sponsorship.. and am more or less certain of the rest anyways :lol:

But whatever... please support all good causes with whatever you can spare to give them . They do need and use that cash. It really does not matter as to how much or how little... most welcome each penny. :wink:

Every single spare penny helps.. as it does our Paul :wink: So budget it all out. and every little does help each worthy cause

I have Aspergers. The one thing we need more than anything else is simply tolerance of our condition and acceptance that we don't act socially exactly the same as everyone else. I think I may have a milder form of it than others but I generally live a normal life.

Passed this on to the keen cyclists on my Sqn, and I reckon there'll be at least one, if not 2-3 takers.
