Ok, I feel the need to submit one last plea for help. This is something that we feel has huge potential for Eli’s future treatment options and I hope you’ll take a few minutes today and tomorrow to help us out. We would be SO grateful if everyone would take a few minutes and do this.
Pepsi is having a contest and will be giving away $250k for first and second place in their ‘health’ category for charities that are competing. Arms Wide Open is a group that is trying to fund more antibody therapies at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center so that kids have more options that are less toxic and damaging than chemotherapy. We are currently bouncing between 2nd and 3rd place and 3rd place doesn’t get anything! The team we are battling against is a group called USaction and they have rallied to get 16 non profits to come together and create a machine that is literally going to take all the money in every category. They have a website that you can get reminder emails and they have full time people focusing on taking the whole million dollars to advance progressive leadership. They propose to spend the money to educate people about the new insurance for young people 26 and under. Here is more information on the group that our kids are competing against for the money: http://openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=19770
Thursday at midnight we need to be in second place. Please help this last push!

It really takes less than a minute to register and cast your vote (make sure it shows that your vote counted, you get 10 votes a day, but can only vote for one group per day, so make sure it says you have 9 votes left or the vote didn’t count). This could really go a long way in getting some funding for our kids that is desperately needed and we’re not asking anyone (besides Pepsi) for a dime! Thanks!
