My friends,
2009 has been a challenging year. My wife Windra and I received the diagnosis that both of our sons are Autistic. WOW! Our hearts broke and we felt helpless. Then we snapped back into it...we did not have the luxury to feel sorry for ourselves. We had two young boys who needed guidance, direction and most of all ...mommy & daddy!
Thanks to our physician Dr Chambers and Nicholas' teachers we are on the right track! Autism robbed Nicholas of his speech, however word by precious word he is working hard to regain that speech!
Additionally we made the decision t reach out to other parents like us...to raise Autism awareness...how? through Pro Wrestling! I have 18 years in this sport and I have made numerous friends and contacts...what better platform to raise awareness for Autism than the built-in platform that I have with Pro Wrestling.
In 2010 I am pleased to say that I will be working closely with Autism Speaks, The Matthews Center and UNO's Chicago Grill to continue my mission. My 2010 resolution is to help Nicholas double his vocabulary...My second 2010 resolution is to BODYSLAM AUTISM. What exactly do I mean when I say BODYSLAM AUTISM?? ...Raise awareness, let people know what autism is and urge everyone to get involved. Like I've said...my family will NOT be defeated by Autism and if I can help it...nobody's family will either. I want everyone to join my team and united we can fight & ultimately defeat Autism!!
Have a Safe & Happy New year my friends! God Bless! -Jimmy Cicero
