Hi all - I came across this lad's story on Twitter and thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to donate.

Dan is 11 years old and autistic, but is going to be trying his hardest to stay silent for three hours to raise money for Albion in the Community, which appears to have been a bit of a lifeline for him if you read his story.

He was hoping to raise £30. Please donate if you can.

This is great. He's already up to over £200 Inc gift aid having wanted to raise £30. A worthy cause as ever. AITC do so much good work and this is the sort of story that makes you realise the differences they make.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored Dan.

He is an absolute star and this sponsored silence isn't the first time he has been fundraising for the charity, having previously generously donated some of his pocket money to Albion in the Community.

Dan attends our football session for people with autism. It takes place at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre every other Sunday and is proving to be incredibly popular.

If anyone would like more information on the session, particularly if they, or someone they know, have autism and would like to take part, send us a private message.

Is this the new NSC vote rigging?!

Would love to see his face when he sees the money keeps flooding in - there's a message on there from his mum about an hour ago:

Dan is quite overwhelmed at the amount he is raising. Thank you everyone.

Marvellous scenes

It's a great story for anybody who hasn't had the chance to read it: (copied below from the Just Giving page his mum has set up)

"Hi, my name is Dan. I am 11 years old and I have autism. I absolutely love Brighton and Hove albion football club, especially Maty Ryan. I have started attending the autism football sessions run by this charity at the Brighton and Hove albion performance centre. They make me happy as I can finally do football. Another reason I really look forward to these sessions is that I can enjoy spending time with other children. I am not able to attend school at the moment so I get very lonely. I am raising money for Albion in the Community as a thank you for running these sessions. They do lots of other good things too. On Monday 20th August I will be doing a three hour long silence. As somebody who talks A LOT, I will find this very hard but I am determined to do it. Any donations however small will be amazing and I will be very grateful. Thank you in advance."

Let's get behind Dan!
