Everyone is deserving of Acceptance

My Run for Autism 💙

I’m taking part in Run for Autism, and this challenge is especially close to my heart.

As a mum, I’ve come to realise just how important understanding, acceptance and the right support can be for children who experience and navigate the world differently. Our own family is currently on a journey of learning, asking questions and seeking answers, which has made this cause feel even more meaningful to me.

I’m doing this run not only to challenge myself, but to help raise awareness and funds for autism support, education and advocacy.

Every kilometre I complete will be a reminder of the incredible kids and families navigating their own journeys every day. 💙

If you’d like to support me, even the smallest donation would mean so much. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing my page or cheering me on is just as appreciated.

Thank you for supporting my Run for Autism. 🏃‍♀️💙

For understanding. For acceptance. For our kids.


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 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 I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!
