Take Part in the #FlyForAutism Challenge this April AsIAm - Ireland’s National Autism Charity, are challenging amateur aviators across the country to build their best paper planes this month to raise much-needed funds for World Autism Month. The COVID-19 crisis has forced the charity to cancel all fundraising events planned for the month of April, which will have a serious impact on their ability to provide services and advocacy for the autistic community. With the entire country stuck at home for the next few weeks, the #FlyForAutism challenge is a fun way to show your support – without having to travel far! . All that is needed is a sheet of paper and some imagination. Here’s what to do: 1. Text ASIAM to 50300 to donate €4 to AsIAm 2. Build your own paper plane. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like. 3. Post a video if its most impressive flight on your social media channels with the hashtag #FlyForAutism and tag @asiamireland 4. Tag and challenge 3 friends to donate and make their own paper planes
