Vote to cure a Miscr's daughter of Rett's Syndrome!!! Deadline extended to August!!!!

**Lunatic** · 07-31-2010, 05:23 AM

Can everyone please do their part and take a few moments of your time and vote for Lavinco's daughter? It'd mean a TON for Lavinco and could potentially help his daughter have a much longer life if everyone comes here and votes.

You'd be doing Lavinco, his daughter, his family, and his friends out greatly if you guys could do this.

Rett Syndrome mostly affects girls and mimics autism in its early stage and eventually takes their lives from an age of as early as 3.

It's a genetic condition of the mecp2 gene that lies within the X chromosome. Girls have 2 X chromosomes while boys have only 1 with their Y chromosome. Girls survive Rett Syndrome longer than boys because they have the second X chromosome which is always healthy. Eventually though, the X Chrosome with the bad gene dominates their bodies and eventually takes their lives.

Researchers are real close to curing our girls through what else than you guessed it, IGF-1. IGF-1 from increlex is to start clinical trials on 10 girls this Fall as it proves to nearly cure mice models with the same condition. The FDA approval process could take a few years and many girls are dying from this everyday.

So more funding is needed in order for the approval process to move forward with the cure. Pepsi is getting involved by awarding $250,000 to the number one voted best idea. We are currently only 2 spots away from this as we speak, sitting at 4th position. With a little help, we could very possibly get there.

In addition, we have another private sponsor who is going to match Pepsi's 250k for a total of $500,000 towards the cure, should we get voted in as a worthy cause. We only have to get the 2nd or 1st position. Pepsi awards both spots 250k each.

You can vote once per day and voting ends on AUGUST 31st. Just go to the website link below and hit the vote button until it disappears.

10 seconds of your life could change my daughter's entire life.

**scump** · 07-31-2010, 05:53 AM

hmmm seems to keep letting me in...still voting

**Amsterdammerr** · 07-31-2010, 05:56 AM

I voted for that dude like 5 times, but when it moved to the 4th position I stopped voting because their is no way you can gain a thousand votes in a day, instead I voted for the spinal injury thing because that still has a fighting chance instead of that bullshiet hiphop crap or art stuff.

Which position is it at anyway?(iPhone so can't see it)

**mackenzie-uk** · 07-31-2010, 05:56 AM

Voted another 5x:

Oh and:

**Starred** · 07-31-2010, 05:57 AM

**FryDude** · 07-31-2010, 06:02 AM

Voted, I wouldn't be too disappointed if #1 won as I feel it's also a worthy cause. Only if we could get in first or second place damn it.

**Patient Bear** · 07-31-2010, 06:19 AM

if its like 10000 then there's probably not much point voting all day
