Kaitlin is a family friend of mine and little girl with a big disease. A few years ago she was diagnosed with Late Infantile NCL. This is a rare disease that limits her mobility and sight. Most NCL children lose nearly all mobility and usually die by age 6.

Kaitlin's mother, Rebecca is doing literally everything in her power to provide the best care for her daughter who she loves so much. Care is expensive and she is always looking for help too.

Rebecca recently entered a competition to win a mobility van so that Kaitlin can comfortably travel to her therapies, grandparents house, swimming, etc.

NS, I know you guys are great with this stuff and Kaitlin needs your vote. Please click on the below link and cast your vote! Votes can be cast once every 24 hours so as this thread gets bumped in your threadwatch, do it again! Thanks everyone, I really do appreciate it.

As always, there will be +K

Vote every day and thanks again,

Voted, diseases suck.


Still, I feel a bit bad for voting. Letting people with serious illnesses compete against each other for something every single one of them is in need for is pretty sick.

damn this sucks having competition when they all really deserve it but heres another entry.

http://www.nmeda.com/mobility-awareness-month/heroes/new-hampshire/keene/1360/david-hudgik



this kids from keene, nh and was as passionate as a skier as you could find. shredded hard at granite gorge and other new hampshire mountains and had a bright future, but one day while on his tramp he broke his vertebrate( not sure about the exact medical terms but something in his neck/ back) and became paralyzed. this past winter he got back out on the hill on a sit ski and i had never seen someone so stoked.

nothing against the girl that the op posted for, but think about trying to help out a fellow skier!

Udpate: Contest ends on May 14!

And unless you look at all the kids, there's no real way to tell whether she's winning or not.
