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

Why am I running 70km this October? Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.

This isn’t something I post about a lot but is extremely close to home. My niece, Sunday is 4 years old, has level 3 Autism and non verbal. Although she brightens up our lives, we cant deny the significant challenges faced by our family on a daily basis.

Without certain support networks, families lives would be exponentially harder. Which is why is I’ve joined ‘Run for Autism’.

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 more Autistic people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services.

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!
