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

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.

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.

As an Autistic person myself, this challenge is especially meaningful to me. I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to live independently, work, and have opportunities that allow me to thrive — but I know that isn’t the reality for every Autistic person.

I’m running for those who aren’t as fortunate, particularly at a time when changes to disability funding are creating uncertainty about access to the supports people rely on. The right support can make an enormous difference in someone’s ability to participate, build independence and thrive.

Every Autistic person deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life and be supported to reach their potential. ♾️💙

Thank you for supporting me!
