I can't exactly figure out how to cut and paste this whole thing in, so could those of you who are my friends on Facebook do me a BIG favor?? Please go to my profile page and click on the "stayclassy" link that I have posted, and vote for Jeremy Poincenot?
Jeremy is a college student in California who has Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, the same disease Emily has been diagnosed with recently. He is such an inspiration! ! ! He lost his vision at age 18, and is in college. He golfs, and lives life to the fullest! He is in this contest for the best group/individual/charity, and the winner gets $20,000 to go to the charity of their choice. He wants to use the money to go toward research for a cure for LHON. This could help SO many people! I have joined a website for people who are affected by Lebers, and have met so many wonderful families.........reminds me so much of all of you who I met here!
So, if you don't mind.........could you please vote for Jeremy? He is pictured way down at the bottom. And don't forget to go to the end and click on "submit my vote".
THANKS!!!!!!

Thanks so much Jennifer for putting the link here!!! Now.........if everyone here could just click on that link and scroll toward the bottom and vote for Jeremy Poincenot! The 20,000 he gets will go toward finding a cure for Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. He told his mom that he doesn't want to "go back" (meaning going back to having his vision) until EVERYONE affected by Lebers can "go back". They have developed a website for encouraging other parents and showing others what it is like to have vision loss, and it has been good for me because Emily absolutely will not talk to me about what she is able to see and not see.........or how she feels about all of this.
Thanks for voting!

I thought I would let you know.........there were two separate things Jeremy could be voted for on this site. He won one of them, so he won $10,000 that will go to LHON research. I want SO much for a cure for this disease! ! ! THANK YOU ALL so much for voting for Jeremy!
