I am incredibly proud to have won the Sibling of the Year award at the Autism Hero Awards. This recognition means so much to me because autism awareness and advocacy are deeply personal.

 

My brother is an inspiration, and supporting him has shaped who I am. Autism is not just a cause I care about—it’s a part of my life, and I’m committed to championing acceptance, understanding, and inclusion.

I am truly honoured to have accepted the Leading Business of the Year award. I believe that businesses should not just succeed in the marketplace, but also make a positive impact on society, and this award is a testament to the amazing people who help make that vision a reality.

Thank you to anna, lisa and all the team for the amazing night at the autism hero’s awards. It was a honour to be around so many amazing, inspiring and beautiful people.
