HALF WAY THERE!!

Day 15 of Run for Autism and so far we've raised $517 and I've personally completed 32km of the 70km goal.

Big shoutout to my Droppoint work crew who have joined and supported me each lunchtime; especially Annie who always pushes me for the extra lap. 

It's not too late to donate to Aspect Australia to help support the 70% of Autistic Australians facing mental health struggles. Every dollar raised motivates me more to keep going and continue to raise awareness. 

Week one completed!

14 out of 70km walked.
$411 raised.
Still so much to do! Get on board!!

Day 4- its the weekend!

Resisted the urge to have a restful Saturday and pushed through, was rewarded by the duskful colours of the setting sun around Shellharbour foreshore. 
You can’t define dusk by a single shade, just as you can’t define autism by a single story. Both ask you to pause, to really look, and to see the wonder in transitions others might overlook. 💙

Day 1

I can do this!
70km is daunting but was made easier by three beautiful coworkers who embraced me and together we walked through our lunch break. 
It reminded me how beautiful life is when we feel supported and valued.... all the more reason to keep pushing through the kms so that we as a community can be better educated to support and nuture those with autism. 
Forgot to take a photo... must remember to do so tomorrow. Feeling good! 

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

Why am I running 70km this October? Those that know me will understand, I dont run... truth be told with all my autoimmune problems I barely walk!! But here I go, with my little man, Dan alongside me to run (aka walk) 70km this October. Why? 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 better mental health services—so that more Autistic people 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. 

Thank you!
