STAFF from a Warrington law firm walked 700 miles over a week to raise £1,000 for the National Autistic Society.
They took part in the “Walk for Autism” challenge to raise awareness of the condition.
Employees at Primas Law pledged to walk at least 10,000 steps each day which worked out at more than 700 miles and 1.4 million steps.
They marked the end of the fund-raising week with a weekend walk across Crosby Beach with the charity.
Autism is a lifelong disability that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. There are approximately 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.
Beth Wheatley, associate at Primas Law, who took part in the challenge said: “After meeting with Autism Initiatives, part of the National Autistic Society, we were inspired to help make a difference.
“I’m pleased to say that all of our team managed to walk 10,000 steps across the week, with the daily walking lunch sessions providing us all with a boost to our step count!
“Autism Initiatives organise vital fundraising treks and walks throughout the year to help supplement the services they provide that are vital to thousands of people. Hopefully our contribution will make a difference and we can continue supporting the charity and the outstanding work that they do.”
