Why Run for Austism?

We started this journey as just me and my two boys, running for a cause close to our hearts. People dear to us live with autism every day, and we want to show our love, support, and raise awareness through Run for Autism. What began with just the three of us has now grown into a wonderful team and together, we’re running for something bigger than ourselves.

So why 70km this October? Because around 70% of Autistic people experience mental health challenges and that’s something we can’t ignore. Every kilometre we run is about pushing towards a world where Autistic Australians are better supported, included, and given every chance to thrive.

Your donation will help provide access to vital assessments, therapies, education, and community services — the things that make a real difference in everyday lives. And knowing you’re behind us will give us the extra motivation we need to keep moving through every step of this challenge.

If you can, please donate and help us make an impact. Every contribution counts and together we can make change. 

Thank you for your support!
