We're joining the movement to Run for Autism. But I need your help.

We're doubling it! 💚

This October, the Arena team is taking on 140km to support neurodivergent humans and their mental health.

Why 140km? Because around 70% of Autistic people experience mental health challenges - so we thought we’d take that number and double it.

We’re running towards a world where Autistic Australians are understood, supported and empowered to stand confidently in their own arena - not expected to change who they are to fit into someone else’s.

We believe everyone deserves access to the understanding, support and opportunities they need to thrive.

Your donation will help support early diagnosis, autism-specific education and critical research into the mental health experiences of Autistic people, helping build better pathways to the support they need.

Every contribution helps us move towards a more inclusive world. Thank you for standing alongside us. 💚
