Mark Leland to support autism charities with proceeds from "Missing Pieces"Have you heard the recent release from Mallory Records (http://www.malloryrecords.com/) of Nashville Recording Artist Mark Leland’s first single, “Missing Pieces”, the title track single from his debut CD, Missing Pieces?
If you haven’t, why not visit Mark’s web site (http://www.markleland.net/) to hear a snippet of “Missing Pieces” as well as other songs on the new CD.
Heart-warmingly, a portion of the proceeds directly from the sale of this CD will be given back to help those suffering from the life afflicting diagnosis, Autism. This heartfelt song and its charitable emphasis is a sweet welcome to the children and family of the Autism community.
“Missing Pieces” was a collaboration between Mark and his long time friend and manager, Tim Calhoun, whose son, Nathaniel is autistic. The song focuses on the struggles that families deal with when their once healthy, young child becomes diagnosed with autism. “When Tim and I wrote this song, we knew that it must be written in a manner to reach the entire world, and make them aware of autism”, Leland said. “We know that there are steps being taken and treatments to relieve some of the difficulties, but there is so much more that needs to be done.”
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder generally appearing before the age of three that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. Autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction, communication skills, and cognitive function. Individuals with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. Today, 1 in 166 children are diagnosed with autism, making it more common than paediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
I have a couple of albums available to any UK radio stations that would like to add a copy to their play list. Just drop me an e-mail at Headline Promotions, Press & PR (john@headlinepromotions.co.uk)
