Keen runner and occupational therapy team leader, Ruth Marshall, is running the Edinburgh marathon on Sunday 29 May.
In doing so, Ruth hops to raise some much needed funds for Scottish Autism, an organisation dedicated to enabling autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.
Ruth said: “I was planning to run the marathon anyway so it makes sense to put the miles to good use.
“I see many examples within my working and personal life of the challenges faced by those with autism and their loved ones.”
Scottish Autism is an organisation dedicated to enabling autistic people to lead happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. They provide specialist services and support for autistic individuals and their families, through our Autism Advice Line, Knowledge Share seminars and online Right Click Programme.
Ruth added: “I hope to be able to make a small contribution to fund some of the work that this charity is able to do for those who need their support. Any contribution however small would be very much appreciated.”
