This October I’m running 40 kilometers to raise awareness and funds for a cause close to my heart. 

I have two amazing nephews who are autistic. Watching them grow, learn, and navigate a world that doesn’t always understand them has changed the way I see everything. They’ve shown me what resilience looks like. They’ve taught me that communication, connection, and love come in many forms. Most of all, they’ve shown me how important it is to advocate for acceptance, support, and inclusion.

Run for Autism is a fundraising challenge run by Autism Initiatives Group. Autism Initiatives Group is working towards a world where every autistic person has the support they need to thrive, every opportunity to fulfil their potential and a supportive, inclusive community to live in.

Please sponsor me, any donation big or small is greatly appreciated 😊

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page, spreading the word, or simply taking the time to learn a bit more about autism means just as much.
