Tommy and Murdochs Amazing Adventure

Hi my name is Murdoch and I'm 6 years old. My big brothers name is Tommy and he is 8.

My twin sister is Maisie and we have another set of twin brothers, Fergus & Hamish. Mum & Dad are really really busy and face many challenges caring for all five of us kids. We are a happy family with lots of love and support around us!


I have Classic Autism and my brother Tommy was born with Down Syndrome. I'd love to be able to talk and join in the conversation with my brothers, Maisie and Mum & Dad. This is difficult for me as I am non-verbal so my family and friends find it difficult to understand what my needs are. We are faced with many behavioural and social challenges related to our intellectual impairment and learning difficulties which impacts our family and lifestyle on a day to day basis. These are major obstacles in our lives so we would like to raise some money to help fund much needed ongoing therapy, educational & respite services, resources and medical expenses.


We are a very active family and love outdoor activities such as walking, swimming, bike riding and visits to the park. To enjoy family outings we need to overcome many physical and mental challenges in order to live a safe and happy life and this is why we need support.


We will be involved in many fund raising activities throughout the year. Funds raised will go towards further private therapy for both the boys, educational resources, programs, respite, therapy equipment, home safety improvements, and when one becomes available, a Smart Pups Autism Assistance Dog. We would love for you to help our family achieve their goals.


We are a member of The Developing Foundation, a registered charity which supports children with brain injury to access vital therapies and equipment. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible and proceeds go direct to special needs. The Developing Foundation commits 90% of funds raised by or donated to our team, to these unmet needs. The remaining 10% is used by the charity to cover credit card charges, administration and support.

Thank you.
