Five For
Fighting
Makes Fighting Autism
A Reality 
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008
More children will be diagnosed with
Autism this year than AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined: about
sixty-seven children per day, to be precise. This is what John
Ondrasik, aka Five For Fighting (the band that had hits like "Superman
(It's Not Easy)"), WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com, and AutismSpeaks.org want
you to know.
Autism is a neurological (brain) disorder that impairs
social interaction and communication, and causes restricted and repetitive
behavior, which can be mild to severe, beginning in children and lasting
for a lifetime. There is currently no cure for autism, but Five For
Fighting is fighting to change that.
Whether or not you know anyone
affected by the disorder, it's impossible not to have sympathy for these
children when you know their plight.
But thanks to Five For
Fighting and What Kind Of World Do You Want (which is also the name of the
song playing in the video), you can send $1.00 to an autism charity - or
other charity - without spending a single penny.
Every time this video is viewed, $1.00 is donated to
autismspeaks.org. The video, launched in September, has already had
over 741,000 views.
Or, choose from all charity videos, which will also receive
$1 per view, at WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com's home
page.
Many thanks to Michelle for sending us this
video!
