Canada Day 2008
Kim Souch and her daughter Sara began the first leg of a cross-Canada tour on July 1st. Their goal is to raise awareness of Autism in our country. The tour is called "Kaleidoscope ".Ride
They will host concerts across the country and I know they’ll be an inspiration to all who have the privilege of seeing and hearing them.
They will be keeping a blog diary at their dblog, which can be viewed here
Kim and Sara also have a website where anyone who wishes to, can donate to support the tour. The website can be found here.
Here’s their schedule so far. I urge anyone who can, to please to go see them for the musical experience of a lifetime.
Kim and Sara are supported by Autism Canada Foundation.

Excellent post, Jim.
Now THAT gives me optimism
I’ve just ponied up online.
thankyou very much
i ponied up too…not much but hope it helps
Elyse Bruce is raising awareness and funds for autism with her “Countdown to Midnight” CD. It’s got awesome music on it, and best of all, the money gathered DOES NOT go to Autism Speaks, an organization considered offensive to most autistics.
Pass the word.
Sounds like when Autism Speaks, autistics are offended.
How come?
Don’t think you should allow unacredited slams on your blog.
Too much like politics.
