I’m running this October for the 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum.

I am one very proud mum of two precious little boys with autism aged 6 & 3. I have never met two more beautiful souls in my life, they are brave in a way that I have no words for. I try to be strong for them, hold onto everything that is good, they show me what true strength is, what it’s like to be positive in every way.

No matter the storm surrounding them, they show me they teach me how to be strong, to always have hope and just trust the path we are heading down. 

I am doing this 100% for them because early intervention has changed my boys lives. If running to raise money can help the next little person have access to life changing funding or resources everyone should try to get involved whether it is making a small donation or raising money. 

I’m running 40km this October to raise funds for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum!

Increased awareness and understanding means more people than ever are being diagnosed as Autistic – connecting more people to the support they need to thrive throughout their lives. But it also means services are being stretched further than ever before - with many children left on long wait lists at critical times in their development.

I have joined Run for autism to raise funds so more Autistic Australians can access the life-changing assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies and adult community services they need to create their own unique brilliance!

Any contribution, large or small, will help create a more inclusive future for Australia’s Autistic community.

Thank you so much!
