Walk a Mile in my Shoes

Jul 01, 2024

The Dorset Healthcare NHS team are taking part in a step challenge to raise awareness of neurodiversity. In particular: Autism, Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.

We will each be recording our steps and then adding them together as a team. Out goal is to walk the distance of Dorset to Singapore (6800 miles)!

At the end of the challenge all money raised will be split between: National Autistic Society, British Dyslexia Association, Speech and Language UK and ADHD Foundation.
