My name is Matt Norris and I own PopVinyls.com and VinylmationKingdom.com. I have a wonderful wife and 4 amazing children (3 girls and a boy) My 5 year old daughter, Audrey, is Autistic. When we found out she was Autistic, we weren’t upset or scared. We were relieved. We knew we could help her. Little did we realize how much she would help everyone else in the family along the way. She has taught us patience, empathy, appreciation and kindness.
My wife and I are runners and we are running the Tower of Terror 10 Miler at Walt Disney World in October. One of the pluses of this race is that it benefits Autism Speaks. With our daughter and so many others having Autism, we thought this would be a great way to help raise money and awareness for Autism Speaks.
Our running team is trying to raise over $2000 for Autism Speaks. In just over a week, we have already hit over $1200. My wife has already hit over $800 while I’m at about $425. We can accept donations of $20 or more at the following link: DONATE TO OUR AUTISM SPEAKS TEAM!
In addition to donations, we have been auctioning off Funko Pops generously donated by FugitiveToys.com, ToyMatrix.com and readers of this site. This is where we need your help. If you are willing to donate a Funko Pop Vinyl to us to auction off we will be most appreciative. We hold all our auctions in our Facebook group VK Auction House and you can see the items as they are put up for sale.
