Fighting Autism

Posted on 31 January 2008 by J. Dunbar in Health & Safety

I received an email from a friend today. It reads:

Hello All,

I’m sure everyone of you knows at least one family affected by autism, as ours is. Please watch this video and pass it along to everyone you can. The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks each time this video is viewed. The funding goes toward research studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal.

For those who are curious what life for a parent of an autistic child is like, watch the Autism Every Day video on this link:

Much love.

We all can help fight autism, even if we are not affected by it. One day, I am sure you will run into someone who is affected and wish you could help.
