Former Michigan State Basketball player Anthony Ianni has left behind a major message over the past few months on both anti-bullying.
His travels have taken him all over the place and has seen him doing numerous speaking engagements in a very short amount of time, from speaking 6 times in a 24 hour time span in Traverse City to being in Greensboro, NC, Windsor, Can, and Milwaukee, Wisc., all within the span of four days.
But how has the message he has left behind resonated with the schools he speaks to?
In late November, Ianni made his way to Flat Rock High School. According to the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) teacher Kristin DeLeeuw, she heard of Ianni's story and felt it was important to bring him in and have him share his story with the kids, especially it being the first year of the program at the school.
According to DeLeeuw, the kids loved his speech and felt it was really inspirational.

Ianni's travels (preview)
To say former Michigan State basketball player Anthony Ianni is busy these days would be an understatement.
That's because right now the 6-foot-9 native of Okemos, Michigan is currently on an all-out full-fledged tour of the state of Michigan, where he has pledged to speak to 659 schools in one year, giving his message on anti-bullying and autism awareness along the way.
And even though it has been coupled with other speaking engagements all around the country, making him a very busy man, Ianni says he wouldn't trade it for anything and that he knows it's all for a good cause.

“It may be tiring on some days, but this will be the kind of
thing that will give people hope, inspiration and awareness for autism as well
as anti-bullying,” Ianni said.
