Autism doesn't come with an instruction guide. It comes with a family who will never give up.
Back in 2022, I took on the Run for Autism challenge and proudly raised $1,129. I’ll be honest — it pushed me to my limits, both physically and mentally. But the sense of purpose, knowing that every step I took was making a real difference, made it all so worthwhile. The exhaustion faded… but the impact didn’t. 💙
This year, I’m walking 7,000 steps a day to raise awareness and funds for Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) again — and I’m doing it for the same people very special to me: my 19-year-old son Angelo and my 10-year-old nephew Selwyn💙
As a mum and aunt, I witness first-hand the daily challenges they faces — from navigating social situations to managing overwhelming sensory environments. These are not just small hurdles. They’re constant, exhausting battles that require immense strength.
That’s why understanding, patience, and support from the people around them mean everything.
They don’t just help them through the day — they help them feel seen, safe, and accepted. And that changes everything.
✨ I’m walking to create a world where every Autistic person feels supported to live their best, most authentic life.
