FIGHTING FIT IN SUPPORT OF AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH

More than 130 people were put through their paces in Newcastle this morning, to help raise awareness of Autism.

The bootcamp at Nobbys Beach saw people run, lunge and box for the cause.

“People with autism, most normal day-to-day activities can be a bit of a challenge so we’re asking everyone here to put in a little bit of effort, out of your comfort zone and have some fun,” said organiser Leanne Hawke.

Close to $3,000 was raised for Autism Spectrum Australia.
