October 18, 2014 (5 Year Anniversary of 1HLC!)
Start time: 11:00 a.m. (PDT)
We all start at the same time, no matter where in the world you are lifting.

Why take part in the 2014 One Hour Long Cycle Event?
Recent statistics suggest that 1 in 68 children in the United States has been identified with an autism diagnosis. This means it is likely that you know someone who has in some way, been touched by the disorder. Those who participate in a rigorous form of training and exercise, such as kettlebell lifting, may appreciate the intense stamina, perseverance, and dedication of those involved in helping individuals with autism realize their fullest potential. 

What will the event involve?
*We'll start promptly at 11:00 a.m. (PDT). 
*Satellite locations are welcome anywhere and can include a single lifter or many lifters. 
*All participants will begin their 60 minutes of long cycle movement, at the same time, no matter where in the world they live, alone or with a group! 

We all do this together to pay tribute to those affected by autism and to raise funds for this years' chosen beneficiary, Association for Science in Autism Treatment (www.asatonline.org).

Why support ASAT?
Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) is a not-for-profit organization committed to serving families affected by autism by improving their access to sound, science-based information regarding the broad aspects of living with, and effectively treating autism. Through the ASAT website, newsletter, and other resources, ASAT aims to assist families of individuals with autism, including those children newly diagnosed, in their search for accurate information regarding autism and its treatment. This commitment to dissemination and support also applies to the providers who serve individuals with autism.

***Receipts for tax purposes, will be provided by ASAT.
How will funds be used?
All funds raised will be directly donated to Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT). Funds raised from this event will contribute to ASAT's goal of creating and disseminating an information resource for parents and other caregivers of newly diagnosed children. 

Families are overwhelmed by the decisions that they need to make in light of the 400+ treatments for autism, only a handful of which possess scientific support. As a result, families too often experience detrimental consequences of invalid, costly and even dangerous treatments. The resource booklet will support family members in becoming savvier consumers and advocates.
