Fundraise for Autism
Whether you move 10KM or take 10 steps, this challenge is for everyone! Choose between completing a 10K (run, walk, swim, bike or anything you choose!), or create your own “10” challenge, like 10 minutes of yoga a day or 10 push-ups daily—it's up to you!
We’ll support and encourage you throughout your journey as we unite to promote inclusion for autistic and neurodivergent individuals, while raising vital funds for autism services across Queensland.
