The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for *each time* the 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 to your friends and family. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal. This is near and dear to the hearts of those of us who volunteer at the Grace Foundation. Not only are the horses (and dogs, cats, cattle, goats, burros, etc.) taken care of, but also autistic children benefit so from the therapy they will receive from partnering with these magnificent animals. Right now, while you're thinking about it, simply click the link below and watch the short video. When when you do, 49 cents will be donated towards the research to find a cure for Autism. You might also learn something about Autism you didn't know. The site explains how the donation works. When you're done watching the video, please forward the video to other smart, caring people like you. That's it. Small request. HUGE cause. http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/videos/view/id/408214
