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

Why am I running 140km this October? There is 3 reasons

1) I have Autism and so does my nephew. Like anyone, sometimes things can get hard. I hope that one day, the world becomes a bit more tolerable & forgiving for everyone particularly for Hugo. I hope that the awareness & small donations I can generate will go towards making things a little easier for everyone

2) I think sometimes we get bogged down in our problems. I call it quicksand. The harder you struggle, the deeper you sink. I think if we have a good support network around us, whether that is family, friends or whatever, that helps us navigate the quicksand better

3) I’m a bit mad and need a challenge 😂

Please donate now and show your support for this cause.  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 which I’ll need 😂 to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. If you can donate now to show your support it would be greatly appreciated. If not that is OK too 😊

Thank you!
