When Andrew Edwards was four years old, doctors told his mum that he would most likely be institutionalised. It was 1989 and autism was not well understood or accepted.
Suffering years of bullying at school at the hands of children and teachers, Andrew relied on family support to get him through his childhood and adolescence. His mother, Hazel Davies, was determined to prove doctors wrong and help Andrew live a happy and successful life.
Andrew's mother tirelessly campaigned and advocated for her son, helping him become the successful man he is today. Now after his mother's passing, Andrew reflects on her impact on his life and honours her with a mammoth walk in her memory.
