Lawrence Brownlee Launches Autism Awareness Fundraiser
By David SalazarLawrence Brownlee is doing his all for Autism Awareness.
The tenor launched a fundraising campaign for Autism Speaks on Monday with the aim of raising $3000 for Autism awareness research.
“As part of Autism awareness month, I have decided to ride 300 miles to raise $3000 for Autism awareness research! This is a cause that’s close to my heart because as many of you know, my son Caleb was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3,” the tenor wrote on Facebook. “if I can get 300 people to donate $10 each we’re already there!!”
The tenor posted a video clarifying that he will be doing the 300 miles on his road bike in addition to fundraising.
