Mel Wheeler

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

Why am I running 70km this October?

With 2 of my kids diagnosed with Autism, this condition is very close to my heart. Whilst they face additional challenges, they have so many amazing strengths as well. 

Additionally, 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!
