    Please help save my daughter's life

    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.

    ****ing FDA. They kill more people than they save. They are actually in the business of killing people by denying them drugs and are even incentivized to do so.

    Hope your daughter makes it.

    You guys have all been great.

    One final thought for the last day of voting:

    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.

    Please vote now at:
    http://www.refresheverything.com/rettresearchtoreality

    If you have a cell phone text 100842 to Pepsi (73774)

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