Eugene McLaughlin hasn't added a story.
On June 1st 2014 I am running the Walled City Marathon in Derry
Northern Ireland in aid of the local Charity COS-Circle of Support for
Autism Families. My Son Matthew has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and
struggles daily with everyday tasks. COS have been an immense help
throughout the past year for our Family. COS was formed in June 2011
and provides guidance and assistance to families affected by autism.
COS also arranges activities that can be enjoyed by all of the family
including ASD friendly cinema trips, Bowling club and Sensory swimming
and Active ASD.
These are all adjusted to cater for the sensory
needs of our kids who otherwise couldn't experience these activities.
I'm fundraising to ensure that activities such as these and others can
continue for kids like Matthew and also to ensure the upcoming summer
scheme can go ahead as planned.
The break in routine during
holiday time can be extremely distressing for a child with Autism and
COS have a packed programme planned for the summer so our kids are
kept active and engaged during their summer break. They ensure that
the whole family can be involved in outings together by tailoring them
to the needs of our ASD kids. Raising funds are the only way this
charity can continue to operate and help families affected by autism.
The charity is continually growing and further fund raising can help
guarantee more families affected by autism are given the necessary
help they and their children need. For more information on COS-Circle
of Support, please visit our website. WWW.COS-circleofsupport.com
