CNN iReporter Chris Morrow asks celebities to read for a cause
Adrian was delighted to be able to lend his support when CNN iReporter, Chris Morrow decided to ask her celebrity friends and contacts to help her raise money to support the National Foundation for Autism Research (NAFR).
NFAR provides financial support to teachers for materials and equipment (including books!) that improve the way students with autism learn, which is especially important now with widespread educational budget cuts. Since 2005, NFAR has awarded grants to more than 150 classrooms, helping make a difference for thousands of children.
Adrian, along with other celebrities was invited to read a verse from the well known and loved Christmas poem 'The night before Christmas'. "It gave me the chance to do something to help children and provide a positive impact on their lives, whist providing an excellent opportunity of fulfilling my goal of doing at least one good deed every day!" Adrian said.
The book from which the celebrities did their reading has been signed and is being auctioned on E-bay with the proceeds going to NAFR. Above is the video that was produced. CLICK HERE for more information on CNN.
