Increasing my fundraising target one more time

I am on the final leg of the Walk for Autism fundraiser. It's been a big month, some days were harder than others to get motivated but I am almost there.

I started off hoping to raise $500 and I did it so I changed my goal to $650 and I exceeded that too!
I am wondering if I should change my goal to $1,000 but to reach that, I need your help.
To date, in May I have taken 3015,318 steps. That's a lotta movement.
My worst day was on 3rd May 7,078 and my best day was Friday 22nd when I went out dancing, 24,080 steps!
With less than four days to go, can I make it to the $1k mark?

Day 18 update

So I am not hitting my target (almost) each and every day, I am exceeding it! Oh my goodness, thank you to all of you for donating, cheering me on and generally supporting me on this challenge.Ā 

Okay, so looking at my daily steps, the one's I am manually adding as they are the most accurate, I missed my 7k steps by less than 200 steps, yesterday! But that was because I in the City seeing ART the play. So one day short is okay, yes?Ā  Ā Ā 

To date I have taken 199,487 steps!

It's almost time to get moving!

For every donation made today, it will be matched by Australian Sentinal. So, for example, if you donate $15 they will match it making your donation $30! Every bit helps and I'm very close to my goal of $500. I've got my t-shirt and I've been walking each day which is helping my physical and mental health 😊

Walking in the sunshine

Hi Everyone,

so today I decided to walk part way to work but this afternoon, I thought, why not take advantage of the sunshine and walk home! So I did, it was around 3kms in the warm (not hot) sunshine! All it took to get me moving was the generosity and encouragement of you all. This was my warm up for the main event in May! Walking each day.

Thank you so much.

Hugs,
SaraĀ  Ā 

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

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!
