Back in April, I walked to help raise money for the organization, Cure Autism Now. Our Team was the brain child of an Internet friend of mine from Las Vegas. She decided to drive down here to Los Angeles, to participate in our walk to raise money for Autism research and I, in return, figured I would go up to Las Vegas and return the favor. So yesterday I made the decision to push forward on this, fundraise and somehow make it up there at one of the busiest times of the year. It is not only a busy time on a personal level, but a professional one. Max Martini, the actor who currently portrays Mack Gerhardt in the CBS show, The Unit, fundraises for this charity and in tribute to him, we have begun doing so, too. On a personal level, I have a Steely Dan Internet friend whose son was very young, when I "met" him and through the past 7 years I have seen, from a distance, how one family has had to cope with the diagnosis of Autism.
So I ask any who care to support me, please click the link below and donate whatever you can. Five, Ten, Twenty, dollars...I am grateful for any and all amounts, that will help me reach my goal of $200. Thank you so much.
My walk name is Angelle Lemarche and my Team is Team Mack Daddy.
One day we'll have a LONG chat about autism.

I would love to here more of your thoughts.
That said, I work with someone connected to CAN and might be able to whisper in an ear. :-)

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog entry on my own and came over here to see if there was another response here. I see there was. I did read the entire thing and can see where you are coming from.
Thank you so much for your time.
