A very close friend of ours has recently learned that their ~3 year old son likely has autism. It's a very difficult / painful thing for any parent to deal with, as you can imagine.
I've just been alerted that Autism Speaks, the Ad Council's sponsoring organization for the Autism Awareness campaign created a music video of the Five for Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and their families. The band is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for each time the video is viewed and the winning charity will receive a special prize (there are several others on the site). When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal. Please click this link and watch the video to help raise the funds for Autism. http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/videos/view/id/213154
No sweat. If I can do it anybody can. Come on guys, it doesn't cost anything and the song isn't bad.
Thank you KarinG1, I appreciate your reply and watching the video. As the parents of two little ones, my wife and I have a real soft spot for children with challenges such as autism. Any more folks with a big heart out there? If so, please "click away" at the link and help the cause!
