Michelle Dee: “This is a lifelong mission for all of us”
MICHELLE DEE – The Miss Universe Philippines Tourism titleholder continued to work for her “lifelong mission” of autism advocacy.
It was last 2019 when Michelle first revealed that her two siblings have autism and also declared that her autism advocacy is a “lifelong mission” for her.
To mark this year’s National Autism Awareness Week, Michelle posted on Monday a video announcing the resumption of the annual “Angel’s Walk” organized by the Autism Society Philippines.
According to her, the live version of “Angel’s Walk” had to be postponed because of the global coronavirus pandemic, and 2023 marks the resumption in malls around the Philippines.
“I’m sooo so happy that the Annual Angel’s Walk by @autismphils will be making a live comeback since the pandemic and we’re all very excited,” she wrote. “This is a lifelong mission for all of us and it’s been a dream knowing that waves whether big or small has been made.”
Based on a report, the Autism Society Philippines is “a national non-profit dedicated to the well-being of Filipinos who live on autism spectrum and those who care for them.”
