Help a worthy cause

As many of you know, I am a pediatric occupational therapist and I work with many kids with autism. There is currently no cure for it, but there are ways we can help fund research. I got this email the other day and thought I would post it on my blog. It is legitimate, as you see on Snopes.com.

Please help by watching this incredibly moving video - it only take about 4 minutes.

The band, Five for Fighting, is generously donating $0.40 to Autism Speaks
for *each time* this video is viewed. The funding goes toward research
studies to help find a cure for autism. When you have a moment, please visit the link below to watch the video and pass it along to your loved ones. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can help them to surpass this goal. http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/videos/view/id/408214

It's actually more like $1.00 that is donated each time the video is viewed, so that's even better! And you can watch other videos on the site to help support other charities.
