I’m joining the movement to Run for Autism for one of the coolest kids i know, my niece Veronika.
Why am I running 70km this October? Not only because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges, but because I have a personal relationship with someone that has been diagnosed with Autism.
My niece Veronika is full of energy and life, she’s spider girl a lover of heights, to know her is a privilege I’ve been blessed with. She keeps me on my toes always guessing what her next move will be, will it be a hug, her pulling at me to ride with her on her trike or will it be her climbing the door frames as if she were spider girl.
Every day is a new surprise, she’s trying new things, learning new things and all at her own pace on her own terms.
I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Children like my niece have the opportunity to thrive.
Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser. You’ll be helping provide early diagnosis, autism-specific education, and critical research into mental health issues experienced by Autistic people so they can access the support they need to realise their different brilliant®.
You’ll also give me the motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support.
Thank you!
