TOP 200 Vote-Getters Win!
We are so excited to let you know about an online vote Girl Power 2 Cure will be in starting in just a few hours!! Many of you are involved with voting and following the IRSF Pepsi vote which ends on June 30th. It is all so exciting! Especially the awareness for Rett Syndrome! Imagine all of the people reading those listed on the first page of the results.
Well, we have been planning for a similar vote for the past few weeks, only it is through Chase Community Giving. The benefits to this vote are this:
1. Voting is through Facebook
2. You are only allowed to vote once (well you can earn another vote, but I won't get into that here), so no need to try to get people to vote daily.
3. The TOP 200 vote-getters win $$$! First place = $250K; 2nd-5th place = $100k/each; and, 6th-200th place = $20K/each!
We would love to have your support in helping us win this vote which runs JUNE 15th - JULY 12th.
We have created a webpage at www.girlpower2cure.org/chase where you can send people to easily find the link to vote, as well as print out vote slips to hand out around town, etc.
Since this is just a "one vote per profile" thing, I hope you will find it easy to promote.
We are working hard to make this happen! Please visit www.girlpower2cure.org/chase to learn more and see what our plans for any money won would be!!! I think you will find it exciting!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

To infinity....and beyond!
I never thought a quote from a Disney movie would be my latest inspiration. But I guarantee it will be yours too after you read this story!

Go ahead and read it first, then come back to read more here.....
Amazing, isn't it? The love this man has for his autistic son is so beautiful. The sheer determination of the pair is beyond belief. As I read the story, I felt like I was reading an analogy of my life with Sarah and Rett Syndrome.
Getting swept out to a place I couldn't get back from. Feeling in the dark, yet empowered by the spirit inside my little girl. Feeling the pain. Feeling like I wanted to give up. Calling out, but to have no response. Wishing on the stars. Surviving the night by sheer will. The doubt. Then the triumph that Sarah is surviving day by day through bravery, patience, and love.
If you feel "swept away" --- call out "To infinity!" ---- "And beyond!"
They battled for 14 hours. You may have already battled 14 years or more. Keep paddling. Take moments to float and look at the stars. And keeping reaching for the "beyond."
Our girls will be survivors one day because of it.
