Shining bright for Oliver

This year I’m taking part in Shine for Autism for the very first time, decorating our home with lights in honour of my beautiful boy. He is such a bright, bubbly little man, and every day he fills our world with joy, colour, and curiosity. I want our house to shine just as brightly as he does — a glowing reminder of how proud I am of him and of every autistic child who lights up their family in their own unique way. These lights are more than decorations; they’re a celebration of love, acceptance, and the little moments that make our journey so special.

I’m shining bright for autism

This Christmas, I’m shining bright for the estimated 1 in 40 Australians on the autism spectrum.

Join me in celebrating the magic of giving and donate to my Shine for Autism fundraiser today!

People on the autism spectrum see, hear, feel and experience the world differently, and their unique perspectives bring creativity, insight and depth to our communities.

By coming together and lending our support, we can help provide opportunities for people on the autism spectrum to participate, engage and thrive in the world around them.

Let's come together, one light at a time, and make this festive season truly special.
