I’m joining the movement to Run for Autism. But I need your help.

Why am i running ! Because I am the father of 2 4yr old lv 3 boys who are my world and I will do what I can to help create a more inclusive world that will see them thrive to the best they can be. And  Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. 

Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser.  You’ll be helping provide early diagnosis, autism-specific education, and critical research into mental health issues experienced by Autistic people so they can access the support they need to realise their different brilliant®. 

You’ll also give me the motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!

Well done, James, while this is to encourage you with your running, you can be excused, too, if you don't meet your target as parenting is a time consuming challenge!

Hi James They sound like great kids. While I don't know anyone in my immediate circle who has autism, I've been learning lots more about it recently through a show on the ABC I love called "The Assembly". I watch an episode every time I cook dinner and am almost at the end of the three seasons. All the best for the run!
