Adalaide to Melbourne 822km Run (2023)


This ambitious challenge saw George Chijarira raise money for autism research as he walked, ran and cycled Adelaide to Melbourne (covering 822km) in seven days.

‘George’s Run’ is a charity event that raised $7, 630 for autism research with all donations going to support Autism CRC’s collaborative research initiatives.

“From a young age, I have always been drawn to the exhilarating world of movement and physical activity. Growing up, I was constantly on the go, exploring the outdoors, and seeking new adventures,” says George.

George hopes his efforts will contribute to enhancing understanding of autism, developing effective supports and improving the quality of life for autistic people and their families in Australia.

“Together, we can make a significant impact on understanding and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum, including my own son, Jordan, and countless others who deserve a brighter, more inclusive future,” says George.
