Run No.4 Done!

6km today, was short on time.  Almost at the halfway mark, 32kms down, 48kms to go…. Running for Autism 2024 💛

Run No.3 Done!

... 10kms on Wednesday morning, 26kms down, 54kms to go! It was a very slow start this morning, dark and rainy outside not motivating weather at all…. some days we just need to find the purpose and remember what we’re doing it all for…. ‘Run For Autism 2024’ 

Run No.2 Done!

... another 8kms down, 64kms to go!  

First Run Done!

... 8kms run, 72kms to go... today was about finding my rhythm, only my second run this year so I'm far from 'run fit' but feeling energised and on track... raising awareness and much needed funds for such an important cause!

Running For Autism This October, 2024!

This October I’m running 80km to raise funds for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum! To help raise awareness and help create a world where no-one on the autism spectrum is left behind!

As you know this is a cause extremely close to my heart. In  2022 I ran 42km for autism and with your support and overwhelming generosity raised $4532.00, well and truly exceeding my initial goal of $1000.00.  This year I'll be running roughly twice the distance I ran in 2022 so I've decided to double my initial fundraising goal set at $2000.00.  

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.

From me to you, I send a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your support x
