Hello all! My intern is trying to help a little boy she used to work with that has a rare genetic disorder. He really needs your votes. Please take a moment to click on the link & vote for him. Thanks, Rita.

 

Hi Everyone,

 I worked with a child named Matthew who has a rare neurological disorder. His parents are trying really hard to get the money for more research for this cause through a Pepsi contest. Below is the information on how to vote ? the family needs all the help they can, because their cause is only at number 3 on the list. Only contestants who make it to the top two will get a shot at the prize. Thank you so much for all of your help!

 Best,

Maria Crossman
