A fantastic group of four fundraisers took on a half marathon during World Autism Acceptance Week to raise money for the young autistic people supported by Prior's Court. 

Jenny Turner, Emma Hutt, Cameron Kavanagh and Rachel Clements all completed the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday, 6 April. The event has become a regular fundraiser for Prior’s Court, with 16 Team Prior’s Court supporters now completing the challenge across the past three years.

This time around, the runners taking part were:

• Jenny - who supported Prior’s Court due to a family connection to the charity’s work. 
  She has eased past her £500 fundraising target for Prior’s Court’s general funds, raising £650 with Gift Aid. Donate via justgiving.com/page/jenny-turner-1733064956592
