Chris Towner has newfound happiness in his home with Multicap on the Gold Coast and is on the run to a much brighter future than the Towner family could have imagined.

Before finding his place with Multicap, Chris had run a marathon of overwhelming obstacles due to his battle with Autism and an intellectual impairment. His family’s struggle to find a way to manage his challenging behaviours, while protecting him from both himself and others is truly remarkable.

These days the only running that Chris does is on the marathon track! He started with a 5km fun run, and recently completed a 10km slog with his dedicated Multicap carers right by his side.  Chris’s mum, Lee, is adamant that his newfound happiness rests on the quality of the accommodation and the willingness of Multicap staff to listen and accommodate.

Multicap is relying on the generous donations of the community to help urgently raise $15,000 for the Brighter Futures Appeal. These funds will provide vital care for people with high needs disabilities across Queensland and ensure that Multicap can be there for families just like the Towner’s when others will not and cannot.

All donations to the Brighter Futures Appeal before 30 June will give you an immediate tax deduction.
