Run for Autism 2026

Hello, First things first, thank you so much for making your way to my fundraising page! This October I'm putting one foot infant of the other as often as possible 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. And you can help too. Any donations count as it all combines and goes directly to those living on the spectrum. Your donations contribute to provide early diagnosis, autism-specific education, and critical research into mental health symptoms experienced by Autistic people so they can access the support they need to realise their different brilliant®. 

This cause is deeply personal to me but also as someone who works currently as a support worker and is studying occupational therapy this also has professional importance to me. One of my goals in 2026 was to walk more and try running so you'll also be giving me the perfect motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October for such a great cause.

Thank you a million! For reading, for sharing and for donating whatever you can <3
