Please take a few seconds and vote for the Nick & Friends car and help us bring awareness to this dreaded disease. This car contains the names of that we are aware of fighting or have fought this monster we call Sarcoma. Please do this for the 6 angels we have lost since voting began on this car. Please do this for those still in treatment. Please do this for those in remission. Please do this for each of these beautiful families. We need to get his car a secured spot in the top 10 to make it to the next round.

I have copied this from one of our biggest cheerleaders:
The White Flag Is In Hand
In NASCAR, the officials wave a white flag on the lap before the final lap for the checkered. Folks, the official has it in his hand and we aren't ready for the push. Please, Please, Please....it is time, time for all of us to put the pedal to the medal, to finish strong and place as high as we can in this race. Please make it a point to go to every one of your pages or perhaps send each an email with the link, begging for the vote. Ask them to help, send out the link, do it on face book, do it on care pages, do it on my space, just do it anywhere people will see. We have thousands of people that follow our cause and I just can't tell you what it would mean to all of us if we were to win this race. I want to close by leaving this bit of info with you, pass it on if you'd like. This year, the Daytona 500 drew an 11.3 rating in TV viewers according to ESPN, this is the largest rating they have ever drawn and it relates to (drum roll please) 37 freaking million viewers. WOW!!!!! I would say that’s pretty good exposure, wouldn't you? Good Luck Pit Crew!!!
Yes, this would be a dream come for so many families. Please help!!!
And from the bottom of mine and Michael’s heart, we thank each and every one of you!! Know we could not do this without you!!
Sending you warm hugs!! ~

Why this is important to Michael, me and the hundreds of Sarcoma family members!!
First let me say one great big THANK YOU to all my wonderful, supportive cheerleaders we have out there helping get the word out there on this contest.
Second, go and vote, vote today, vote tomorrow, and vote every day from now until the end of the month. We only have 10 days left. Vote from your computer and every single computer you have in your house. Vote at home, vote at work, have your co-workers vote. Even ask your boss to vote. This could mean the world to those hundreds of names listed on this car. The link to the car is:

Directly from Nick & Friends:
Why is this NASCAR contest is so important? Sarcoma is rare. Its victims forgotten. There is little research & the survival rate is low. Most people have never heard the word sarcoma. This MUST change. We must make sure that everyone hears, sees and understands the word sarcoma. This car will put that "S" word in front of thousands of eyes... Awareness=Funding=Research=Cure! PLEASE continue to vote
What Nick & Friends mean to Michael and I:
Here you have 2 of the most amazing people in this world that does not know you until they see your story. Then they become one of you closest, best friends. As I can say the same about their volunteers, those fighting their sarcoma, and the caregivers and family members, anyone you meet that know what / who Nick and Friends is.
Cancer is a scary thing, but to hear you have a rare cancer and there just isn't much out there on this, well that puts a whole different scare on it. I have met some of the most wonderful people who are fighting this fight just as we are. And when we lose a precious angel, the love and support is outstanding to that family.
Bring Sarcoma Awareness:
We need to bring more awareness to Sarcoma. We need more research done. We need more answers on the what / why / hows of Sarcoma. Those that know and have followed Michael’s journey or another Sarcoma Warriors journey know how hard these treatments are on these babies, these children, these men and women fighting this disease. Yes, some do become Survivors as Michael, some are still fighting this battle, some have become survivors just to fight it again, and some become our precious angels.
Please help me make this dream come true:
This was just a hey, lets try this and see what we can do idea of Michael and me. But let me tell you, reading the carepages, caringbridge pages of those fighting and asking for help, reading the words that this precious child loves to watch these numbers climb on this car, seeing Michael’s face (yes a big 40 year old kid) when I tell him the numbers, reading all those postings on facebook, seeing all the people on facebook asking to be tagged to the photos of this screenshots going on the car, is just simply amazing and so heartwarming. Please help me make this dream come true. This would mean the world to Michael to actually be part of this car, this race and personally, from my point of view, what better way to celebrate being a survivor then being at the race and bringing awareness to the foundation that helped us and to these terrible disease. As Andrea said, how many people really know what Sarcoma is. And then think of how many of you can watch these beautiful names race around the track.
From one of the wives:
Don't wait until cancer affects your life or the ones you love to start caring, help raise awareness and find a cure NOW! Anyone could be the next one diagnosed. Trust me, we never thought my husband would get cancer at age 22. Take two seconds and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Here is what one of our mothers has to say about this:
It would be SO cool to see this car racing around the NASCAR track.. and SO fitting. This disease is like a high speed car race that keeps going around and around and around in circles. Sometimes we ride the high tracks and sometimes the low. And along he way, we have many pit stops. But the pits are ALWAYS where we find our team waiting to fix us up and put us back on the track. You guys are our team!
As you see, this is not only for Michael; this means the world to the hundreds of names on this car and their families, my big family!!
PLEASE VOTE and SPREAD THE WORD TO GET MORE VOTES!!

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!! We Need Everyone to Vote, Vote, Vote ~
First of all, Michael is doing pretty well. More on him in a bit…
I have one GREAT BIG favor to ask everyone one of Michael’s followers. Michael is a HUGE NASCAR fan. While watching the races, we saw a contest to design our own race car to sponsor during the All Star race this May and well we decided to enter. It was no question of what we wanted to put on the car. As you can see from following the link, we proudly put Nick & Friends Sarcoma Foundation on the car. We have also included a yellow ribbon with each Sarcoma Warrior’s name. It is a chance for us to bring much needed awareness to Sarcoma.
The winner, gets to be at the All Star Race, meet & greet with the driver we chose to drive the car, a lap around the track in the car and most of all, the winning car will be sponsored in the All Star Race. Now how cool would that be to see each of our beautiful warriors racing 190 miles an hour around that track!!!!
This would be a dream of a lifetime for Michael to be at this race, rubbing elbows with some of the greatest NASCAR drivers ever. Plus a chance for us to bring awareness to Sarcoma and Nick & Friends. Just think of this as a big 40 year old man’s biggest dream!!!
So, follow the link, vote now and you can vote once a day for the next 15 days. We have a long ways to go, so please spread the word, vote daily… the top cars have many many votes (tens of thousands), but with our great, beautiful, big-hearted sarcoma family, each of our own families and friends, we can make this dream come true for Michael, and for each Sarcoma Warrior who has fought, is still fighting, and for those beautiful Angels already in Heaven.

Back to Michael,
He is doing pretty well. He has a full head of hair, full beard again and tinkering out in the shop. He is currently re-building a truck and loves every minute of it. He still does have his good days and bad. Some days he still can not get out of bed with the back pain. He still gets the headaches every now and then. But most of all, he is on his way back to the top!!
Thank you for all your love, prayers and support along the way. Please, remember to keep all these beautiful Sarcoma Warriors in your daily thoughts and prayers. Also please pray for a cure. And oh yeah, don’t forget to vote daily and spread the word. We need all the awareness we can get!!!
Warm Hugs~
