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, including my Son, Hugo. 

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 live life to their full potential.

I would love for you to donate to this organisation through my fundraising page, however, if you are not in a position to contribute financially, all I ask is that you use the month of October, to educate yourself on what Autism Spectrum disorder is.

By understanding and having compassion for those on the Spectrum, you are making a difference in fostering an inclusive community where all Autistic people have what they need in order to thrive alongside their neurotypical peers.

I have provided some links including some of my favourite Instagram accounts:
