Or to be more specific... runnin'. Running for Autism.
My adorably gorgeous and brilliant nephew, Jackson, has been diagnosed with Autism - the second most common developmental disorder in the US. Research is absolutely crucial.
Jackson needs us. That's why I'm shapin' up and shippin' out. I've got my kicks and I've got my iPod and I'm trekking out to the lush landscape of Central Park this Sunday, at 6am, for the 2008 NYC Half Marathon, courtesy of OAR: Organization for Autism Research.
Myself and 63 other good people have raised over 50K to support our cause to fund studies regarding research. We're also all jumping in to do that Half Marathon trot... incidentally, a cool 13.1 miles.
I'll let you know how I do, and get back to you on how amazing it should be, shin splints and all.
Can't let Jack Jack down.
