Tonight, we’re switching over to The Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. I’ll post the totals raised for the Autism Society of America tomorrow. I need to make sure I understand how the Zazzle totals work. Regardless, we’re well over $1000 US raised. Stay tuned!

The Telegram

The story was the Telegram’s most viewed web story ever. Total earnings (not sales) are $372. Over 110 items sold since Saturday. To make things easier on me, I’m going to go with a single link to the Zazzle store. If you would rather use Cafe Press, drop me a line and I’ll send you the link.
First Update

The story hit the Telegram yesterday, and Reddit last night! Based on feedback, there’s now shirts in the Zazzle store. Cafe Press have contacted me about possibly doing something more with the Cafe Press store as well. So far today, over $130 dollars raised on sales of 40 shirts. I’m personally going to match up to $100 January and February, so we’re up to $230 for January.
