Jenny McCarthy and John Cena Lay the Smackdown on Autism

August 4th 2008

Jenny McCarthy, Generation Rescue, and John Cena from the WWE teamed up for a special taping of Saturday Night Main Event with the hopes that wrestling fans will send in some donations to help Generation Rescue. The pairing may seem awkward, but Cena has assured that the two organizations go hand in hand, and that the WWE has the “avenue to get it out there to a bunch of viewers”.

They certainly do. And Jenny has more ties to the cause than just the warm fuzzies from helping people. “Jenny says she suspected that toxins such as mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, MSG, or live viruses found in some traditional children’s vaccines were causing the condition, but she was pooh-poohed by pediatricians.”

Generation Rescue helps families who could otherwise not afford care for their children diagnosed with autism. They aid households that make less than $30,000 a year, with autism care and treatment sometimes costing upwards of $75,000 per year, with the “majority of state insurance policies do not cover the long list of expenses that come along with autism”.

Even though Saturday Night Main Event has already come and gone, you can still go to the WWE’s website to see videos from other celeb supporters of the fight against autism, as well as make friends with Jenny McCarthy on WWE’s Fan Nation.
