I’m walking 7k steps a day this May to support Autistic Australians

I’ve signed up for Walk for Autism this May, and this means everything to me 💙

I’m walking for my two beautiful children —my son, Elijah (5) and my daughter, Freya (3) — who are both autistic. They see the world in their own unique and brilliant ways, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.

But the world isn’t always built for kids like mine.

There are challenges every day that most people don’t see. As their mum, all I want is for them to feel understood, accepted, supported and able to grow into whoever they’re meant to be.

That’s why I’m walking 7,000 steps a day this May to raise funds for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia) — to help create a more inclusive world for Elijah, Freya, and so many others.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it would truly mean so much to our family.

Thank you for supporting my kids 💙
