We're running this October for Alex and the 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum.

We’re running 40km this October for our son Alex, who is on the autism spectrum. Our goal is to raise funds and awareness for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians who share this journey. We’re committed to creating a world where Alex—and all Autistic individuals—can always smile and thrive.

As more people are diagnosed and seek support, services are stretched thin, leaving many children on long waitlists during crucial developmental stages. By participating in Run for Autism, we aim to fund vital assessments, autism-specific education, specialist therapies, and adult community services.

Every contribution, big or small, helps us move closer to a future where the Autistic community receives the support they deserve to shine in their own unique way.

Thank you for your support!
