We're joining the movement to Run for Autism. But we need your help!
Why are we running 70km this October? Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.
We're 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 more Autistic people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services.
You’ll also give us the motivation we need to log my kilometres as we go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support.
Thank you!
