Audio Feature: Wrestle Against Autism

The third annual Wrestle Against Autism event will take place May 16 at the French Field House in Columbus, Ohio. TDR will be providing live coverage of the event.

Wrestle Against Autism was started in 2008 and is a joint venture between the Mad River Wrestling Officials Association and the Ohio State wrestling team. The purpose of the tournament is to support the many families affected by Autism and to raise awareness about the disorder.

The inaugural Wrestle Against Autism in 2008 consisted of around 225 wrestlers. $9,000 was raised to help families living with Autism.

The second annual Wrestle Against Autism in 2009 was supported by 425 wrestlers. $17,000 was raised to help combat the challenges of Autism.
