B Runs A Marathon
Story
I have spent a great deal of time running lately. When you spend a great deal of time running you also spend a great deal of time thinking. I thought a lot about what I would endeavor to raise money and awareness for. (There really is an overwhelming PLETHORA of things...)
However, as I reflected on the nature of endurance running and having been inspired by some particularly beautiful people/stories in recent times as well as the lack of profile it tends to receive, the obvious choice this time around was clear --> Autism.
I'm not sure if you know much about it but my hope is that you'll be open to learning along with me.
So, on Sunday May 19 2013 I will attempt to run my FIRST EVER marathon and I'll run it to raise awareness and money for kids with Autism.
It's going to be an epic challenge for me (to say the least) but is ultimately nothing in comparison to living day to day with Autism.
As I step up to the line on raceday, it'd be HEAPS encouraging to know that I've helped you to learn more about it and that together we've raised money to help children with Autism reach their full potential!
If you are keen, please consider sponsoring $1 per KM - which will be $45 (provided I make it!)

Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect)
Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is Australia’s largest national service provider for people on the autism spectrum.
Autism is different for everyone. Providing the right support requires understanding individual strengths, interests and aspirations. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. At Aspect, we work in partnership with people of all ages on the autism spectrum, providing a tailored support journey that continually adapts to the needs of each person. Our approach means each person is understood and valued for their unique abilities, supported through their challenges and given opportunities to achieve their goals and fulfil their potential.
How your support helps
We need people like you to help us pave the way to a better future.
Autism is a lifelong condition. An estimated 1 in every 70 people in Australia is on the autism spectrum. Along with their family members, this means autism is a part of daily life for over a million Australians. It is likely you know someone – a family member, friend or colleague.
By fundraising for us, you will help provide the best opportunities for people of all ages on the autism spectrum from tailored educational support to fulfilling work lives and improved social environments.
