Trent Shepherd

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.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. 

For those unaware, I've had a spectacularly bad 12 months physically. Last Easter I severed my fingertip chopping carrots. After recovering, I gave myself rhabdomyolysis from overexertion in October, leaving me unable to walk the dogs for five months. Then on a "gentle" bike ride, I went over the handlebars and broke my bursa sac, chipped my Ulna, leading to ongoing infections, including staph and four rounds of antibiotics, lasting 3 months.

Despite this track record, I'm determined to complete this challenge. Though given my recent history, you might get lucky and not have to pay if I don't finish!
I genuinely hate running, but this cause matters. Your financial support would mean everything.

Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser. You’ll be helping more Autistic people in Australia access life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services. 

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!
