I’m walking 7k steps a day this may for my children & those Alike ❤️

For the month of may this year I will be walking a minimum of 7000 steps a day. Over the month that will be a combined total of 217000 steps!

I will log my steps daily via this page link, I will also include photos & updates ect throughout!

I will note during this period I will be working 14 hour days including travel, to which some of those are night shifts. If for any reason come the end date I am say 5,10,15000 steps short. I will walk the entirety of those remaining steps in the one go. & that is my word! 

But I am hoping to knock over 217000 steps within 20 days! Giving me 11 days left to add to that actual goal.

June last year we raised almost $3000! To which I spent half of the month wearing a dyed bright pink beard, then at the end of the month I publicly shaved the beard for a crowd of people at a local pub. I done this as a way of showing my own Autistic children they’re not alone! I am extremely uncomfortable without a beard. For a great cause like this though, & the admiration of my kids, I was more than willing to give it up! 

I hope this lets people know that I am dead serious in completing this challenge, not for my myself but for every single autistic child & adult alike.

With my first two beautiful children being both autistic we’ve seen just how hard life can be for them. As a parent it can break your heart seeing your children struggle with the simplest of things in life, to which I won’t go into detail. Anyone who faces this everyday will know what I mean.

It’s services like this that enable our baby’s to thrive in life & give them many opportunities to which normal life does not offer them. 

I know how hard the cost of living is right now, so I’m not expecting anything, but if your willing then any charitable donation towards this amazing cause will be more appreciated than you’ll ever know.

My personal goal this year is only $1000 to which I have started with a $75 donation of my own.

Our team goal which will be the combined total between me & friends also participating is $5000

Your are more than welcome to start donating from here on out, but my challenge will start on the 1st of may. It will run for the entirety of the month & I will beat this challenge with ease because I know what it means. 

Thankyou for reading, I appreciate you all ❤️.


I’ve stepped up to Walk for Autism. Please show your support as I walk my own brilliant way for Autistic Australians and their families!

Did you know? Because the world is not autism-friendly, 70% of Autistic people in Australia experience mental health challenges.

That's why I'm walking 7k steps a day in May to fundraise for Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia). Can you please support me?

Your donation will help deliver services that support Autistic people to live their best life.

Funds raised can help Autistic people and their families access earlier diagnosis, provide autism-specific schooling for children on the autism spectrum, support research and help create inclusive, autism-friendly environments.

Please support my Walk for Autism and donate now. Thank you so much!
