Lets run to help those feeling misunderstood, feel seen

Why am I running 70km this October? Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. 

I’m running because we have lived this journey first hand and the struggles are often experienced in public but dealt with in private. Their brains are beautifully exceptional, but often make daily life routines feel overwhelming and too hard to carry. I’m running for Eli, all those who are going to walk the same journey as him. 

Please donate now and show your support. 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®. 

Go Team Eli 

Thank you!
