The funds raised by the event has boosted the overall total to £923.

Mr Price said: “Myself and my daughter are diagnosed as autistic and we really want to increase people’s understanding of the condition. We want to raise awareness, not just for Autism UK, but for the home Elsie has found at Kings Mill School in Driffield.

“For the great work the school puts in every day to ensure all of the children live lives full of fulfilment and joy.

“Ultimately we want to raise awareness of autism as there is a lack of understanding and people don’t think about the day-to-day life of people with autism.”
