Mike Rio is a strong advocate of Autism Awareness. Even created a wristband with his name "Mike Rio - Wolverine" in which he donates all proceeds to "Autism Speaks". (Apart from him being an amazing friend and person, he is definitely someone to look up to and admire!)

I had a chat with his mother, Annette Rodriguez, whom is very excited and proud of his son. Here's something she said to me, which I just loved!

"He's going to show them what this "305 Miami Boy" can do(!!!!), and he's going to do it all with a SMILE!! I have faith in my son and I know he will make his home town PROUD! YOU GOT THIS MIKE RIO!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!!"

His wonderful mom also says that Rio is confident and on point. Definitely on Fight Mode!

So let's show our support to my buddy, Mike "The Wolverine" Rio. GO MIKE!!! I have my shirt and wristband ready for tomorrow ... do you?!
