What price autism?

Autism dad Jeff Froelich of St. Augustine, Florida, is auctioning off the back of his (bald) head on eBay to an advertiser for $50,000, to pay for care for his son, Dillon. (It was his wife Rhonda’s idea.) How much of the 50 thou will go towards keeping Jeff’s head nice and bald so the precious ad space doesn’t covered up?—-and good thing he lives in Florida.
As for how much I have or would put up to get Charlie what he needs–there was Dr. Faustus who sold his soul to the devil, Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s play…..
Standing up and speaking out–but never selling out—to advocate for Charlie is something I would do in less than a heartbeat. It’s become as natural to me as breathing.
It takes a lot of heart, and wit, and soul. The trick is, how to end up with all the parts intact.
