"When I was diagnosed with Cancer four years ago, 

I decided to try to have a new project every year to celebrate that I am still alive. 

Consequently when someone asked if I would like to walk part of the Camino to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, I agreed without realising what it actually meant. 

I am not a rambler though I did used to cycle. 

 It was a huge challenge for me to walk 50 miles in one week, walking day after day. 

Friends urged me to do some good for others as it was such a challenge, in that it would spur me on. 

Well I made it and I survived no blisters, and no sore feet.

Latterly I have been conscious of the lack of support and cuts in funding to help children on the Spectrum and I am full of admiration of the work you do with Social Detectives, which helps children and later adults navigate the world in a positive way.

So in some small way I hope it helps some children gain access to these courses"
