We aim to actively introduce and encourage running to young New Zealanders on the Autism Spectrum, for both physical and emotional health, by providing peer support, training and access to free our running shoes program.

Funds will be used to implement the Running program for Autistic children online, throughout New Zealand, as well as provide participants a free pair of running shoes.

Now understanding how great this all is, and realising that I would be trying to do at least 5km daily for the whole month of April (150km), I decided each km should earn a dollar. Hopefully, that will make two pairs of shoes :) Good luck to all
