A Macclesfield boy has fundraised almost £600 for charity.

When many kids were at an Easter event or eating chocolate eggs, Billy Styles went on a charity hike,

Billy walked three-and-a-quarter miles in the Macclesfield area at the weekend.

This was to raise money for the National Autistic Society.

The charity, established in 1962, supports autistic children and their families.

As of publication, Billy (centre) has fundraised £566. Well done!

Billy fundraised an incredible £566 and counting - and you can still donate on this link.

Proud mum Fiona Maxwell told us how the walk went.

"Billy is seven-years-old and in 2022 was diagnosed with autism," said Fiona.

"He walked 5km (which for him is a huge challenge) at the weekend.

"He was joined by his mum, dad, and 11-year-old sister Poppy.

"I am so incredibly proud of the kind, brave and funny little boy he is. 

"Every day, he faces so many challenges to succeed and try to fit in, in a neurotypical world. 

"Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated and will be going towards creating a better society for autistic people and their families. Thank you."
