Why I am running... For Leo

I hate cardio. But I love our Leo. He is 8 years old, loves roblox, the beach and big hugs. Leo is autistic and we were told that he might never talk. That perhaps his meltdowns would only get worse over time. 

Well Leo is an absolute legend and at 5 he started talking and has not stopped since :) He has a small group of best friends, his class mates from Aspect School and he is slowly finding his place in this world with the help of his family, friends, therapists, teachers from Aspect School and people like you - who are willing to learn about, help and support people living on the autism spectrum. 

Thanks for visiting this page, please donate if you can!

I’m running 70km this October for the 1 in 70 Australians on the autism spectrum.

Did you know that autism is estimated to affect over 350,000 Australians every day? For children, an early diagnosis is critical. It means more tailored support at home and school, so they can experience the joy of being a different brilliant.

Sadly, there are so many financially disadvantaged families who are currently on the waitlist for urgently needed autism assessments.

That’s why I’m taking on Run for autism. To help children access an early diagnosis, opening doors to specialised support services and giving them the best possible chance to shine!

Will you please support my run for autism by making a tax-deductible donation?

Any contribution, large or small, will help make a huge difference in the lives of families waiting on an autism diagnosis.

Thank you so much!
