Guinness World Record 8th Annual Walk for Autism. Saturday, April 14, 2012. AT&T Center –
Congratulations San Antonio for breaking the Guinness World Record for the Largest Charity Walk!!! www.anybabycansa.org
So i went to this Walk with my dad, mom, sister, and brother. For those of you that read and don't know my Brother is a "Functioning Autistic," which basically means he has some developmental delays but for the most part should be able to hold a job, can eat by himself, clean and dress himself, can memorize everything (oh wait, thats not normal, that his autistic thing) and he also has the reading level of about 5/6th grade.
We did this walk just for the hell of it. while where at an hour that No Human should ever be awake at, they had a silent auction going on. The action piece were puzzle pieces (the symbol for autism awareness) that were made mostly by people with some degree of autism (or people that have autism in the family like tony hawk).
One of these pieces was realllllly awesome looking, so i bid on it. and WON!
The person who made it wanted R. L. Stine to sign it before s/he painted it, and R. L. Stine did! And a book to be given away with it!!
i thought it was the most bad ass one there! (if it wasn't i would have bid on another...) i won it for $65. Fortunately for me the ended the action early because it was starting to rain and the auctioneers didn't want the pieces to get rain damaged.
my sister bid on a piece that would have been nice if she won, but she was out-bid by 5 bucks.
The picture uploader is NOT working. I will try to upload them in a different way, or tomorrow.
