Our son, Colm, has autism. This September marks three years that we have been running a home-based Son-Rise Program for him - and Colm has grown so much. He has blossomed into a much happier, more relaxed and more social child. We want to help Colm continue to grow.

In the playroom we ask Colm to grow and stretch himself in being more engaged and social, and likewise we stretch ourselves to be the best version of ourselves in order to invite Colm to grow. This September, Ross is challenging himself physically to raise funds to give our team the professional training they need to help Colm continue to flourish. On Sunday 30 September, Ross will take on the Monster Race - a gruelling 10k race of army-training style obstacles - think high vertical walls to climb over, monkey bars over cold water and mud, oh so much mud. Ross hopes that this crazy feat will inspire you to support our fundraising.

Your support will enable our team to have specialised training with the best of the best Son-Rise Program professionals. They will help us make sure we are giving Colm the most loving, effective and inspiring program to help him grow.
