What a month (so far)

Between a flare of my back injury and moving house my efforst at walking have been slow and painful.. but this month has also been a reminder that the small things add up! While some days I have only managed 1k others I have hit closer to 9 (yay for stairs and gentle beach walks. No matter how hard it is I will hit my goal of walking 80ks this month!!

Training (Finally) Begins!

After a strong start to the month, training and preparing to beat last year's Ks, life got in the way and training was put to the side. But I'm back on track now to start the month strong! 

I’m running this October for the 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum.

I’m running 40km this October to raise funds for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum!

Increased awareness and understanding means more people than ever are being diagnosed as Autistic – connecting more people to the support they need to thrive throughout their lives. But it also means services are being stretched further than ever before - with many children left on long wait lists at critical times in their development.

I have joined Run for autism to raise funds so more Autistic Australians can access the life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services they need to create their own unique brilliance!

Any contribution, large or small, will help create a more inclusive future for Australia’s Autistic community.

Thank you so much!
