A friend of mine has entered her family to win a weekend with Santa. These are not just any kids...
Almost 3 years ago her son, Jack, was diagnosed with Leukimeia. Jack has a twin sister Mackenzie, the family has been through so much, yet Jack is amazing. He's run his own bandaid drives for the children's hospital, and inspired so many in the community. Mackenzie has been amazing in supporting her brother, despite the enormous toll it can take on having a "normal" kid's life.
Could you go vote for Jack and Mackenzie to win this weekend? It requires liking this page:

Then go to contest and scroll down to "Our Santa's Jack and Mackenzie" under their story you just click "vote".
I don't normally ask these things but it would mean a lot, please. Thanks everyone!
I'd like to second IAPT's request. In the strange small world of the internet, IAPT's friend actually grew up next door to me. I haven't seen them in person in years, but we're friends on FB. Her son is a pretty amazing kid and I have so much compassion for his twin sister who is growing up dealing with the whole situation. These kids real deserve a break.
If it helps, they are currently in 2nd place, but by less than 50 votes this AM. Every vote really could count. When you scroll past the registration info, they are the 2 kids in Santa hats in a bathtube.

Thought I'd send an update, they got notified that a "Secret Santa" sponsored them for the weekend. So YAY they'll be going.
Also our graduating class is doing some fund raising on the hush hush to surprise the family. I'm so proud of my Guerin girls!

That is awesome! I haven't looked at FB today so I didn't know the good news! Some times good stuff does happen to good people, you know?
Let me know I how I can send in a donation. I was 3 years ahead of you guys, but I'd be happy to contribute something.
