One more day.. Let's finish strong! Anyone who gets to stumble upon this thread should at least spare 2 mins of their time to vote for a good cause.

 

Me too.
Rett Syndrome is very life threatening and I wish it on no one in life at all. No child should have to be struck with this disease or any other. Some people call it a severe form of autism, while others can be misdiagnosed with cerebral palsy, scoliosis, heart disease, lung disease, and many more. The fact is, it is all of these things combined. Rett Syndrome attacks the nervous system starting with the gene mutation of the mecp2, cdkl5, or the foxg1 gene(s).

That single bad gene that everyone needs to function properly causes all the bad things to happen. Thank God that money raised before in the past has gotten us to where we are today. Rett Syndrom was first noticed in the late 50's to early 60's. It was not known what caused it until 1999 and once that was discovered, researchers found a way to actually reverse this genetic disorder in mice in 2007.

Rett Syndrome is the first genetic disorder ever reversed in mice, and could be the first one reverse in humans.

In 2008, researchers found a safe way to "partially" reverse Rett Syndrome in humans. Here is that research:
http://www.pnas.org/content/106/6/2029.long

In 2010, 10 lucky girls will be volunteered to participate in a clinical trial to see if the partial reversal that worked in mice, works in girls with Rett Syndrome too. If this works, 2 years from now or sooner, my daughter will have the same treatment option.

This is where the funding goes, this is how Pepsi is helping, and this is how you can get involved by simply casting a vote for our cause. It costs millions to research this stuff. The clinical trial alone will cost between 2 and 5 million dollars. So without money, no one gets saved.

Today is the last day we vote. At midnight, the voting will end and at 6am tomorrow, the winner will be announced.

Thanks for your vote. It means the world to me, and my daughter is my world.

 

God Bless you, your daughter and your family.

Anyone can sit back and hope for the best, but your not, your helping raise awareness.

Your a true hero today my friend.

 

Final hours , it's number one now . Let's make sure it's stays there . I managed to obtain another 21 votes , not much but every bit helps .

Guys , together we can make the difference .

 

21 votes is a HUGE deal. We lost by less than that last month and ended in 3rd in the last 15 minutes.

 

I strongly believe our efforts will not end up to nowhere but survive! Let's wait and see, and motivate others to vote, of course.

 

3 hours left. Please keep voting because the eleven o'clock news can change a lot for us if our competition below is get on like last month.
