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

I’ve been around autism a lot over the past few years through my work as a support worker, where I’ve had the opportunity to support people in the community, through respite and in the classroom.

Because of this, autism is a cause that means a lot to me. I’ve seen firsthand how important the right support, understanding and opportunities can be for Autistic people.

This October, I’m taking on the challenge of running 100km to help raise awareness and support for autism. The challenge is based around running 70km, representing the 70% of Autistic people who experience mental health challenges, but I’ve decided to push myself a little further and aim for 100km.

I’m hoping to raise $350 to help support early diagnosis, autism-specific education and important research into mental health challenges experienced by Autistic people.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for supporting me and this important cause. 💙
