I’m Running 70km This October for Autism Research and Support

This October, I’m taking on a big challenge — running 70 kilometres. But this isn’t just about fitness or pushing myself. I’m running because this cause is personal.

Our kids are neurodiverse, and every day we see both the beauty and the challenges that come with that. We’ve experienced firsthand how vital the right support can be — from early assessments and therapies, to education that understands their needs, to community services that help them thrive as they grow.

Sadly, so many families struggle to access these services. Assessments can take too long, therapies can be out of reach, and opportunities for Autistic adults are too limited. That’s why I’m running.

Why Your Support Matters

Every dollar raised through this 70km challenge will help more Autistic children, young people, and adults in Australia access:

• Life-changing assessments

• Autism-specific education and support

• Specialist therapies tailored to their needs

• Adult community services that provide connection and independence

This isn’t just about running. It’s about making sure kids like ours — and adults too — have every chance to flourish, be understood, and celebrated for who they are.

I would love your support as I take on this challenge. Together, we can turn every kilometre into real change.
