What Kind of World do you Want?

Directly quoted from the site:

whatkindofWORLDdoyouwant.com
is the first video community that gives back!

We are all connected to one another through our actions. Each person has the ability to make a difference. This is one of the messages of the Five For Fighting video "World".

Tell the world what kind of world you want and raise money for charity by making and uploading a video of yourself, your friends or your family answering the question, "What Kind Of World Do You Want".

Or, you can raise money for charities that John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting has personally selected. Watch the clips posted by others, support the sponsor and up to 49 cents will go to charity**.

**Revver is a viral video network that pays. The Revver system makes it possible to donate up to 68% of this site's advertising proceeds to the selected charities. So, just watch, click and earn money for a good cause.

When you go to the website there is a big link for "Watch The Videos". Each video notes which charity the proceeds go to. Autism Speaks is one of the charities. This is legitimate. If you have some time, please go watch some of the videos. That 49 cents per view adds up quickly, and Autism Speaks is an excellent charity doing very good work.

It's motivated self-interest, but thanks for the kind words.

Self interest? - I'm not very good at navigating LJ yet but your profile doesn't give me any clues. Could it be that we're in the same 'club?'

My son is autistic. Thirteen years old, and our most recent challenge is his desire to eat paper, which led to a fully impacted colon two weeks ago and a trip to the OR to have him manually dis-impacted. Last summer it was five weeks in the hospital with pancreatitis, which turned out to be caused by bile stones.

On the upside, we go to Disney World a lot. I mean, really a lot. He has ridden Snow White's Scary Adventures nearly 1400 times now.

Aha! We are in the same club. I have two girls [typical] and two boys [autistic] aged 6 and 7.
I keep thinking that we've blasted the pica problems, but they tend to come back, along with the tics.
We're fortunate that it hasn't impacted their health.
The fact that you go to Disney World is amazing, I've never been that brave, I'd be terrified of losing them all unless I stuck them all to me with duct tape!
Cheers
