Thank you! That’s a wrap!

Big thanks to all of you for being so generous and supportive. Slowly but surely, I was able to complete the challenge, which is something I honestly didn’t think this unfit, asthmatic, non-runner could do! It was difficult, most of the time, but I have found that it’s also enjoyable. I will keep running. And I am so proud of the R4A community, who raised $1.1M for Autistic people with mental health challenges. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, and I couldn’t be more inspired by your support. Thank you! xx

Thank you!

I am so touched by all the support from you wonderful donors! I’m finally feeling well enough to run again (bye bye Influenza A) and the local hazard reduction burns end today too. So, all set to start the official kms on Wednesday! I will link up my Strava tracking so you can see the progress. Thank you again for your kindness and compassion. Especially now, (after blatant stigmatisation and misinformation from the orange dictator) Autistic people deserve dignity, understanding, and appreciation - not to be cured, silenced, or prevented.

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

Why am I running 70km this October? 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 more Autistic people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services. 

You’ll also give me the motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!
