Im Running for Autism 🐝

For the sixth year in a row I have the privilege of being part of Team Hornet 🐝 running for autism 😊

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. In my work as an optometrist I see first hand how early diagnosis and intervention can make a tremendous difference for those on the autism spectrum.

Families are commonly doing it very tough managing the demands of raising a neurodiverse child.

I’m running with my team hornet buddies in the 2 x 40km Bondi to Manly relay to raise awareness for inclusion, a cause very dear to my heart.

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®. 

Very grateful for any messages of encouragement or donations of support and cant wait to see with this years Run for Autism takes us 🤩
