Day 1 - 5km Down
Running with Heart: Supporting Elias and Autism Awareness.
Hi Everyone,
I'm joining the movement to Run for Autism. I'm running 70km this October for the 70% of Autistic people facing mental health challenges.
This run is for Elias. As his support worker, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the world through his eyes — a world full of unique perspectives, moments of courage, and quiet victories. Elias has taught me more about patience, resilience, and kindness than I could have ever learned on my own. This month every step I take is to honour him, to raise awareness for autism, and to help create a future where people like Elias are understood, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are. And if you spot me out in the community running, don’t worry — nothing’s chasing me, I’m just doing it for Elias and to everyone whose light deserves to shine.”
You’ll be helping more Autistic
people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific
education, specialist therapies and adult community services.
