AUTISM the Autism Initiatives Group mascot will be taking to Merseyrail, on Wednesday, 14 March 2018, for a special teddy tour of Merseyside promoting:- 'Walk for Autism.'

'Walk for Autism 2018' is being organised by Autism Initiatives Group, a national charity which was founded in Merseyside. The project is encouraging people to walk 10,000 steps a day for 8 days, during:- 'World Autism Awareness Week' and raise funds for people with autism. It is hoped that people in Liverpool, an autism friendly Town, will really get behind the project and take it to heart. 

'World Autism Awareness Week'  runs from 26 March to 2 April 2018.

It's thought that over 1 in 100 people have some form of autism, which is a neurological condition and can mean a difference in the way a person thinks, perceives and therefore understands the world and others. This may result in difficulties or differences in communication, social interaction, thinking and in sensitivity of the senses.

So if you're travelling by Merseyrail, on the 14 March 2018, see if you can spot Austin as he embarks on his special teddy tour highlighting:- 'Walk for Autism.' He's always up for selfies, so please do come up to him and his friendly helpers for a chat on the day.

If you can't get to meet Austin you can still go to:- WalkForAutism.Org.UK to find out more.

If you sign up you will get a how to pack, including fundraising tips and a free T shirt and pedometer by registering to:- 'Walk for Autism' during the week.
