The simple story of a mom's winsome church advocacy

As I prepared for Monday's weekly round-up, I came across this snippet about Jose Angel Oliveras, a guy raising money for autism awareness:

Oliveras was exposed to autism by the mother of an autistic child through his church. As she is a proactive volunteer for the cause, Oliveras was touched and became fully involved. Just the way he was moved by others, Oliveras wishes he can do the same. “I want to continue doing triathlon for autism. Along the way, I also hope I inspire others to do something positive. I need more people to carry the torch.”

What a fantastic model of how parents can influence others to join them in carrying the torch!
