Who We Are
Our Story
I am Leanne Gilchrist and my husband and I have a birth son and adopted daughter. Our daughter, B has recently been diagnosed with ADHD/ASD after being told for years that her struggle to concentrate, ability to disrupt lessons and struggle with friendships was purely behavioural. We have had to fight her corner every day to get the support she’s entitled to.
We are a community of adopters and fosterers who are passionate about bringing change and support for children in care of any type, their families and carers.
Our Goal
400,000milesforchildrenincare is a challenge to get us thinking about the 400,000 children in the care system in England alone. We want to travel as many miles together, that's 400,000, to think of each individual child. Please record your daily miles or steps, and let us know your "why".
