I'm running to help those on the spectrum that really need it.
I’m running 296km this October to raise funds for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum!
I participated in the Run for Autism for 3 years now with this being my fourth year. Each year I've added a marathon to my total target. This year I'm at 7 marathons! I do this for my son and for anyone living on the 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!
