Sophie, 24, is autistic, and want to raise awareness to others on the autism spectrum that life doesn’t have to be limiting.
Sophie was diagnosed with the condition aged 22.
She said: “I struggled through school, college and social situations throughout my life. I have managed to overcome these struggles by working hard and persevering with the obstacles life has thrown at me.
“After being diagnosed with Autism, the help and support I’ve received has helped me understand my world more.”

She has currently raised more than £200 of a £1,500 target.
