Jim Carrey Asks Fans To Help Jenny McCarthy's Charity

Funny man Jim Carrey is asking his fans to donate to his partner Jenny McCarthy's autism charity in lieu of gifts this year.

McCarthy established Generation Rescue in 2005 as a research-based organization to find a cure for autism and other neurological disorders.

“Like Jenny, u might not know what to get me 4 Xmas,” posted the star on his personal Twitter page. “Give 2 www.generationrescue.org – real support 4 families struggling with autism.”

McCarthy is well known for her work supporting autism research, a cause she became involved with after her son was diagnosed with the condition. As well as supporting a number of organizations dedicated to children with autism, such as the TACA and the HEAL! Foundation, the model-turned-actress also wrote a book called Louder Than Words documenting her struggles to cope with a son who suffers from autism.
