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 and this feels like something I can do to help reduce those numbers.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world for Autistic Australians. Where they have the opportunity to not only be 'accepted' but to be immersed in conditions that are co created to help them thrive.

Over the last twelve months I've learnt a lot about how far neuroaffirming practice has come, and I have also come to realise just how much more needs to be done to ensure Autistic people are celebrated and can enter the world as young adults feeling proud and confident of their bloody brilliant minds. 

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!
