Think Autism is trying to set a Guinness World Record™. The date is October 1st at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.

They will be assembling or attempting to assemble over over 2,336 kickboxers. That is the current record set in 2009.

Tae Bo Fitness® creator Billy Blanks® will be putting the event together. Of course they will be raising funds for and promoting awareness of autism.

This will be a fun time and a good way to show support for the autism community.

Remember the squeaky wheelchair can kick some butt.
