Fundraising for Enrich+ Spectrum Energy, an Autism Charity.
Waikato
Last year I ran the Queenstown Marathon to raise funds for Autism NZ. I managed to raise $1500 but this year I want to raise much more!
This year I'm raising money for Enrich+ Spectrum Energy, an Autism Charity. It's not a marathon this time, just the 12km Round the Bridges in Hamilton. So to challenge myself I want to do the 12kms in 1 hour. For every minute over that hour I'm going to donate $100 (up to $500).
There is a serious gap in funding for Autism in NZ and Enrich+ Spectrum Energy run a number of programs to ensure those with Autism have a "life like any other".
Training has started for the run, which is on Sunday, 19th of November. Wish me luck!
Jason Walker's involvement (page creator)
Autism is a neuro developmental difference that impacts around 1 in 88 people in New Zealand. Those with autism can face challenges in communication and managing social situations. For many years there has been limited support available for people with autism and their families.
Enrich+ recognised the need for services for those with High Functioning Autism (previously known as Asperger’s) due to a serious gap in funding and services. Those with Autism often miss out on ‘a life like any other’. In 2015 Enrich+ Spectrum Energy was established to fulfil the service need for those with Autism, their whānau / caregivers, schools and employers, across the Waikato.
Autism is something very close to my heart.
