Please help save my daughter's life

    Hey guys. I've been floating around here for a while and never really ask much, but this time, I am asking for your help.

    Rett Syndrome is taking my girl away from me, and she needs the cure available to her that has already been found to work in mice, but not yet FDA approved for humans yet. Rett Syndrome is considered the most severe form of autism in girls which usually kills boys in the Mother's womb because of how it is genetically caused. The only thing in the way of a cure is more funding and this is where Pepsi and you are stepping up.

    We need at least a 2nd or 1st place spot to get the 250k Pepsi will give our researchers for a cure for Rett Syndrome which my daughter has and is a very life threatening condition. Her and over 30,000 other girls in the US are fighting for their lives while researchers find new ways to help them. Successful treatments have been found indeed, but it is expensive to get through the FDA approval process for approving the drugs that help.

    Please help us by voting daily through September 30th. Every single vote counts as we saw last month when we lost by literally just a few votes and ended in 3rd at the very last 30 minutes of voting.

    If you would like to help, please do so by taking 5 seconds of your life to vote which could mean changing my daughter's entire life.

    and in case you're wondering if this is real, I assure you that every day I wake up to check on my 4 year old daughter, thanking God she is still alive.

    People in life often think they have problems, but as long as your children are okay, there are no real problems in this world.

    Thanks everyone.

    I'm convinced this is genuine enough. How about we ALL point our sigs towards this thread for a few days?
    It won't cost any of us anything, and it's Pepsi's money. Let's get them to spend it on something decent.

    I never thought I'd say this, but ... *plz see the link in my sig*

    Wow. I am very impressed with the willingness of you guys wanting to help so much. It really does mean a lot to me and all the others affected by this disease and it shows the true spirit of the participating members here.

    From the bottom of my heart, thanks.

    And that's a really great idea Kerosene.

    Pepsi does not like to reveal the number of votes, but you can vote online and text for a ttal of 2 votes per cause per day, up to 10 different causes.

    Bear in mind though that another vote in the 250k category will also calculate against ours.

    Thanks,

    Jeramie

    Hello Lavinco,
    I went to pepsi from your link filled out all the detailes required, got to this page: refresheverything.com/rettresearchtoreality
    then on the bottom of the screen it says: 10 #Votes left today, and on the right hand side it says. start your application, so I clicked on that to try to vote, but that goes to a screen that says: Sorry!
    Only legal residents of one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia are eligible to apply.
    I would like to vote for your child but that site cconfuses me.
    Have you posted on Warrior Forum if you are not a member and would like me to post a copy of your message for you let me know.
    to the health of all your family.
