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. 

Being Autistic myself, I’ve experienced a lot of anxiety throughout my life, and it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with ASD and got access to neuro-affirming care that I began to feel more confident and at ease with myself, and less anxious. 

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 - and I’ll need it because anyone who knows me knows running is my least favourite activity! 

Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!
