Parenting is hard enough, but when your child doesn’t fit with society’s expectations, that job becomes even tougher. Meet Sophie Walker: author, foreign correspondent, runner, and (most importantly) mother.
Sophie’s daughter, Grace, has Asperger’s Syndrome. To find the strength she needed to battle for her daughter’s needs as well as her own, Sophie turned to running. She set herself the challenge of running the London Marathon to raise awareness of Asperger’s Syndrome and make her physically and mentally strong enough to support her daughter.
Her book Grace, Under Pressure: A Girl with Asperger’s and Her Marathon Mom tells the moving story and the highs and lows that Sophie faces raising a child with Asperger’s.
