Story

Running for Max – Supporting Autism Awareness

Cheeky. Affectionate. Loving. Strong.

These are just a few words that describe our beautiful son, Max.

At the age of three, Max was diagnosed with Autism. While we’d always known he was a special soul, the diagnosis gave us a deeper understanding of how to support him through the unique challenges he faces every day.

One thing that’s always helped Max regulate his emotions and feel calm is movement—whether it’s a car ride, a walk in the pram, or a trip to the playground. It became clear early on that movement wasn’t just an outlet—it was essential.

At the end of 2023, Max and I began taking evening walks together before bed. What started as short 10-minute strolls gradually became 45-minute runs around the neighbourhood. And as we ran, I noticed something unexpected—these moments weren’t just helping Max; they were helping me too. Running became a way for me to reset, reflect, and recharge.

Over time, what began as a way to support my son became a passion. I’ve since completed several half-marathons and a 28km race. And now, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet: a full marathon this October.

To give myself the best chance of success, I’ll be following an 18-week training plan—and I’d love your support along the way.

💙 Why I’m Running

I’m running to raise awareness and funds for Autism Australia, an organisation that provides vital resources, advocacy, and support for autistic individuals and their families.

📣 How You Can Help

Your donation—no matter how big or small—will help support the incredible work Autism Australia does. Every kilometre I run is for Max, and for the thousands of families on a similar journey.
