Clemson+NYC Marathon+Autism = Great!

Clemson Family,
Come early November the Tigers will be wrapping up another divisional title and be looking ahead to a showdown with USuCk. Also in December, the NYC Marathon will be taking place. With the recent terrorist events in Boston, I decided to commit to running the NYC Marathon for a Fundraiser as many people are backing out due to fear of what happened in Boston. I am running for the charity Autism Speaks and I need to raise $3,000 by October 24th. I don't leave home without my Clemson running hat and my Orange shoelaces and I want all of Clemson Nation to know that the ORANGE PAW will be represented running through all 5 Boroughs of NYC. We all know 4th and 16, but kids with Autism experience 4th and 16 every day. You can help me by donating to Autism Speaks where all the money will go to the charity for Awareness, Advocacy, and Research. All you need to do is click on the following link to donate:
http://events.autismspeaks.org/nycmarathon/danielplanck16
Any amount that you can donate would be greatly appreciated and if you are not in a place financially to donate, then please help build awareness by forwarding my link. Thanks! (Btw, that is me on the right in the photo and my twin brother on the left, he was the Tiger Cub mascot!)

Awesome! Great stuff, I see you are from NYC, do you ever go to the 3 Monkeys Bar to watch the Clemson games with the Fan Club?

I used to watch with the club...

But I take things a little too seriously and tend to act out when the Tigers are playing. So, I stick to my local spot.

You, me, and most other fans do the same.......I don't think I sit the entire game and hate watching it with people who don't have a cheering interest in the game.

All the money goes straight to the charity. 1 in 88 (1 in 54 boys) kids are diagnosed with some form of Autism, so there is a pretty good chance you know somebody. $5 is the minimum donation and I would be over the moon to see something come TigerNet Members. Would just give me more reason to bang my chest with Tiger Pride.
Thanks!

221 views and one person donates, which I am extremely grateful for, but at this rate I am going to need 100,000 views to get it done.

As a Clemson grad and autism dad

I thank you. Autism speaks does great work. Look at what they are doing in insurance advocacy. It's time to spread knowledge to this that effects so many. Trust me, if you think you don't know someone effected, you are wrong. You likely do!

Thanks for your post! Your child and your family are like many I know and is the reason I chose this charity! I will wear my PAW for your child.
