I'm fundraising for...

I'm fundraising for Autism Queensland (AQ) because while we all face challenges, for autistic and neurodivergent individuals, those challenges often involve things many of us take for granted. Autism is a complex lifelong developmental disability that can cause differences in communication, interacting with others and experiences in everyday situations.

AQ provides vital services and support to help autistic and neurodivergent people live lives full of participation, opportunity, and choice. The funds i raise will go toward these essential, evidence-based, and personalized services, which include individual therapy, diagnostic assessments, early childhood supports, therapy groups, mental health and behavior support, employment services, autism-friendly schooling, parent education, professional learning, supported independent living, and much more.

I will be actively completing 10k of steps every day of the challenge. If I reach the donation goal of $1000, I will also complete 10 x 10 different exercises, in a penguin costume, for everyone to see! 

Please consider donating to my page and help me to raise both awareness and funds for AQ so they can continue their important work.

My Updates

Week 4!

Friday 25th Oct
Thank you to all my wonderful sponsors. Because of you, we have raised much appreciated funds for Autism Queensland AND, I get to knock an item off my bucket list, wearing an animal costume/ PJs to work! It's the simple pleasures ;)

For the people who have asked "why an animal costume?" Pets/ animals are very important to people with ND, especially children. 

"Enhance the social skills of neurodiverse children. Animals don't judge you, and so they can be very reassuring in potentially scary situations. Again, this effect happens quickly. Children who played with a pet for just 10 minutes are more likely to introduce themselves, ask questions and respond in a group setting."

Please keep the donations coming and look out for my exercise videos and pictures today!
