Kids Club Northern Beaches in Cromer Took Challenging 10,000 Steps a Day for Autism Fundraiser

A group of devoted parents from Kids Club Northern Beaches, located on Middleton Road in Cromer, challenged themselves to take 10,000 steps a day for the Walk For Autism fundraiser.

Every step they completed for eight days, translated to $1. The money would help fund Autism Spectrum Australia‘s (ASPECT) research to help children with autism and their families.



Walk for Autism happened on the 31st of March to the 7th April 2019. Kids Club was able to raise $1,378,981, a little short of its goal of $1,400,000. Despite not reaching the goal, the money raised would still go a long way towards the efforts to better understand the condition.

Kids Club Cromer also left a jar at the foyer of the centre for additional gold coin donations. There were supporters who directly donated instead of joining the Walk For Autism challenge.

People in the autism spectrum experience with their senses differently thus they could have a harder time coping with what’s going around them. Those in the spectrum are also prone to anxiety and confusion, which might make it harder for the families.



Kids Club is a high-quality daycare facility for 0- to 5-year-old kids, including those with special needs. It has five sites in New South Wales, three in the Australian Capital Territory, and one in Victoria.
