Autonomie’s Freedom2Choose Team Leader Emma Cockcroft is gearing up run a leg of the Belfast City Marathon on Sunday 3rd of October in a fundraising challenge to raise funds for Autonomie with the funds directly benefiting 16 - 30 year olds with additional needs.
In her first ever blog, Emma explains in her own words what motivated her to organise and relay team and take part herself in the marathon relay.
Emma says: “Autonomie is an amazing Charity to be involved with, the work they do literally changes peoples lives.
“Seeing first hand how much support the organisation gives to the young people and families just shows how much the charity means to all the staff and volunteers involved.
As Autonomie is a charity-based organisation - I know the importance of fundraising and the difference any money can make so this has given me the drive to get myself fit and encourage my friends and family to donate.”
We wish Emma and all 5 Team Autonomie Relay Team members a fantastic run on Sunday 3rd October.
