Getting ready...

So, a month ago I was comfortably cranking 20-30km per week, but then I did something to my knee, so the last 3 weeks have been rest and rehab. At this stage it feels like it's good to get back on the road, with a gentle start this week of 3 shorter runs just to get moving again. Still have my fingers crossed that I'll be good for 80km in October.

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!

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 create their own unique brilliance!

Any contribution, large or small, will help create a more inclusive future for Australia’s Autistic community.

Thank you so much!
