Our Mission

We are a community bound by a profound purpose: to make a significant, lasting impact on the neurodiverse community. Our dedication transcends personal achievements, focusing on creating opportunities and support in sport and recreation, education, and career development for those with neurodiversity.

In sports, we strive to make the excitement of participation and the camaraderie of community sports accessible to everyone, including neurodiverse individuals. Through inclusive events, we aim to provide a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive, celebrating the joy and social, physical well-being that comes from engagement in sports.

Education is pivotal in our mission, as we work to unlock the potential within the neurodiverse community. We support educational initiatives that cater to diverse learning styles, funding programs that equip educators to meet these unique needs and develop learning materials that are both accessible and engaging.

Career development is also a cornerstone of our efforts. We advocate for pathways to meaningful employment for neurodiverse individuals, partnering with organizations to promote a diverse workforce that values the unique perspectives and talents of every individual.

Every step we take, every race we run, is a step towards a more inclusive future. We are not just participants in a race; we are advocates for change, working towards a world where opportunities in sport, education, and career are accessible and equitable for all. Join us in this journey, and let's make every step count towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
