Wes’s 10K Run for I AM: A Race to Make a Difference

Imagine a world where autistic individuals are fully supported, empowered, and given every opportunity to thrive. That’s exactly what I AM Celebrating Autism in Greater Manchester has been doing for over 50 years – and now, you have the chance to help make an even bigger impact!

On Sunday, 16th February, Wes Auden will be running the Hale 10K to raise crucial funds for this fantastic charity. I AM (formerly ASGMA) has dedicated itself to empowering the autistic community in Greater Manchester by providing vital services to individuals aged 10 and upwards. Whether it’s one-on-one support, group activities, or mental and physical health initiatives, I AM ensures that people with autism, along with their families, guardians, and carers, receive the help they need to live fulfilling lives.

Why I’m Running

My connection with I AM spans nearly 15 years – including nine years as a Trustee and three years as Chair of Trustees. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact this organization has on the people it supports. Now, I’m taking on this personal challenge to raise funds that will help I AM expand its reach, develop more services, and create opportunities for autistic individuals to gain meaningful employment and independence.
