LIFT 4 Autism 2016: Stronger Together!
This
yearly event is dear to my heart, as it is to so many others; and I’m honored
to be a part of it. As most of you know, April is #Autism Awareness month,
shining a global light on the condition an estimated three million people in
the United States and seventy million people worldwide live with every single day: one
in every sixty-eight American children, one in every forty-two boys.
Alhough autism is the fastest
growing developmental disability, for those on the outside looking in, it often
remains a mystery. This month, we hope to shine light on the condition and
spread compassion for families living with autism.
In addition to raising awareness, we also
want to take action. This is the second LIFT 4 Autism campaign,
rallying the reading community around this cause. More than 200 authors and
bloggers are partnering with this effort, many donating #books and other items
to an #auction the last week of April. Proceeds from this auction will go
directly to our charitable partner, Talk About Curing Autism (TACA),
a national non-profit organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and
supporting families affected by autism. Specifically, our efforts will benefit
#families served through TACA’s scholarship program to offset medical and
therapy costs.
To stay abreast of LIFT news and
developments this month, please join our Facebook Group.

can you be involved???
