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

This October, I’m taking on the Run for Autism challenge to raise funds for Aspect and help create a more inclusive world for Autistic Australians.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart because I’m fortunate to be the mum of two amazing autistic boys. Every day they teach me to see the world differently. They are funny, loving, determined, and each has their own incredible strengths. They’ve shown me that autism isn’t something that needs fixing, it’s something that deserves understanding, acceptance, and support.

Like many families, we’ve experienced the challenges that can come with accessing services, navigating diagnoses, and advocating for the support our children need to thrive. No family should have to face that journey alone.

I’m running to help raise funds that support earlier diagnosis, autism-specific education, family resources, and programs that create more autism-friendly communities, so more Autistic people can feel understood, included, and empowered to be themselves.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, you’ll be helping make a real difference in the lives of Autistic Australians and their families.

Thank you for supporting me as I complete my kilometres throughout October. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement means so much to me and to the families this fundraiser will help.

Together, we can help build a kinder, more inclusive future.
