PLEASE VOTE ~










Please help us once again by voting for our car, “Nick & Friends 2”. We have 13 days left on this one. We are trying extremely hard to make sure we get at least one car into the top 10 so we can move on to the next round. www.sponsafier.com/share/370029

If you are on facebook, we have an ongoing event you can join SARCOMA AWARENESS - NICK & FRIENDS 2 . This event is done from your computer. It is just a friendly reminder to vote daily for this car. It is going on now through September 6th. With that being said, we have many people not understand why people are saying “NO” to this event. You don’t go anywhere, and I am sure you spend more time reading others statuses, playing games, etc.

But here is my take. Either your friends on facebook don’t understand what we are trying to do, don’t understand what sarcoma is or what it does to our loved ones, they may be too busy, they may of their own set of problems, maybe they don’t need a reminder (wow, I wish I didn’t need reminders), or they just don’t care.

So with that, here is what we are trying to do:
1. We are trying to raise awareness to a horrid disease that affects our loved one, a rare pediatric cancer called sarcoma.

2. Our loved ones go through some very extensive treatment. Sarcoma can be very aggressive and can be disfiguring, painful and often is resistant to treatment.

3. Their survival rate is very low. And if they do survive the first round of treatment and has a chance to be “in remission”, they have an extremely high rate of it returning.

4. Families’ lives are turned upside down, some even fall apart completely. Moms and dads lose their babies, children lose their mommy or daddy, men / women lose their spouse, we lose our friends.

5. If you don’t know what sarcoma is, or if you want to learn more, please visit the Nick & Friends website at www.fightsarcoma.org, ask me or any of the administrators on the event page on facebook.

We are just asking for a few seconds each day. Just a few clicks, click the link, click the vote button and that’s it. If we can get this car through this round and into the next two rounds, we have a great chance of bringing sarcoma and Nick & Friends into the NASCAR spot light.

AWARENESS = FUNDING = RESEARCH = CURE


Thanks and please vote.

PLEASE HELP WITH VOTING DAILY ~

I copied this from Fight Sarcoma.org's facebook page. Please read below and help.

We need to have AT LEAST 10,000 by now if we are going to compete with the top car. If every person who follows this page votes once per day, we should have around 4,000 by now, but we don't. This means that a lot of people who CARE about this CAUSE are not doing anything about it! www.sponsafier.com/share/360505

I don't quite know how to express the importance of this. I think most of you know that sarcoma only has about a 20% survival rate. There is very little funding for sarcoma research. Sarcoma tends to strike children more often than adults. Sarcoma is not like other cancers. It is more aggressive and disfiguring and painful and often resistant to treatment.

Families’ lives are turned upside down, some fall apart completely. Moms and daddy's lose their babies, kids lost their moms and daddy's, and we lose our friends. People have awareness events all the time, and hopefully hundreds of people learn about sarcoma at those events, BUT...

This car winning will mean that hundreds of THOUSANDS of people will see the word sarcoma. They will see yellow ribbons. They will see names of warriors...some still fighting, others whose battle has ended. YOU have the power to make hundreds of thousands of people aware! YOU! Every one of you can personally take credit for doing something big for this cause.

Be a sarcoma warriors hero today...right now...step up to the plate...be activists in this cause...let YOUR voice be heard. Tell those people at Toyota and NASCAR that Sarcoma is the cause they need to pay attention to!!! Vote daily and ask everyone you know to do the same.

We are not asking for your money here...we are not asking for hours of service...we are asking for 2 clicks of your mouse each day for 15 days. That's it. Couple of seconds...couple of clicks... AWARENESS

Now from me, Just think for one minute what this could do bringing sarcoma infront of hundred's of thousands of people. Think of the smiles on each warriors / families faces.

Love ~
Mel
