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

70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges, I’m pledging to run 35km in October, that’s Parkrun every week plus a few extra.

I’m running joining this event because I want inclusivity and equal opportunity for those with autism. I want schools to create learning environments that tailor to autistic differences, I want workplaces to provide opportunities- and not just the dregs of jobs- for autistic people. I want more understanding, education and acceptance. 

Autism isn’t just for girls or an obsession with trains. You may not even know your classmate, neighbour, friends kid or gym buddy is autistic. But when you do “see differences” it adds an extra challenge for those individuals, and it shouldn’t. Equal opportunities, early intervention and education. Plus, keeping me accountable with kms!

By supporting this cause financially, 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®. 

Thank you!
