I’m running to raise awareness of autism and the mental health struggles autistic folk may face.

I’m running for women and girls who spend their lives high functioning, people pleasing and self sacrificing to overcome the often invisible challenges that being autistic can bring. I’m running for women who receive their diagnosis in mid life (if at all) because the neuroscience, diagnostic tools and research never prioritised them. I’m running for myself, my neurospicy sisters, our families and the betterment of our futures.
