    Hey gang, Jen VanHoutan, the 2nd person down was a colleague of mine before I stayed home and her family has been hit with Batten's disease. Not once but twice. It is a horrible disease and I can only imagine how their lives are as they watch their two children fight it. Please vote for her at the bottom. I'm not sure if you can vote daily or not but you can vote until the 17th. They're not even in it for the car really but the media exposure that will come from their win for Batten's disease which is still so unknown.

              Thanks guys! And I just tried to vote again and it wouldn't let me so I don't think you can vote daily.

                        The tears flow even more when you visit Noahshope.com - its just a very sad story.

                        Thanks again everyone!

                          I just visited. So heartbreaking, there really are no words for their strength.

                              Just voted. Such a sad story, I hope that they win and can get more press on Batten's disease as a result.
