Borrowed this from Emily's blog - please vote for GEB's Heeling Autism program!!

Guiding Eyes started a service dog program a few years ago for children with autism. "Heeling Autism" dogs prevent the children from bolting, provide companionship and confidence, and can forever change the life of the child and his family. Guiding Eyes provides the dogs to the children free of charge, just to help with the family's search for other treatments.

So, for the month of August "Heeling Autism" is up for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project for $250,000. The money will pay for 3 vans for transportation to training sites, a new instructor, and 10 vests and harnesses for each team. The top two ideas in each category (5K, 25K, 50K, 250K) get the funding. We're currently ranked 6th, not too shabby, but not good enough. So, I ask that everyone go here and PLEASE vote. To register only takes a minute and you need to vote everyday. You can also vote via text message "101731" to PEPSI (73774).

Your vote can change the life of an autisic child and their family forever. Also, spread the word! Repost this, tell your friends, post to your facebook wall, DO SOMETHING! Your vote makes a difference. Remember, Vote daily, by text and/or email. (If your sneaky, you can register more than one email and get more votes in!)

PS-Make sure the little "10 votes left" box rolls to a nine after you vote to make sure it counted!
