There are children all over the world misdiagnosed with everything from tics and Tourette Syndrome to out of control OCD and sometimes manic and psychotic behavior .... when in fact (often undetected) strep, beyond just strep throat, may be the cause One group of parents with PANDAS children is striving to raise money for valuable research that is hoped to make diagnosing PANDAS more efficient, promoting more widespread recognition of the disease amongst both the medical community and general population, and helping these kids get effective treatment to get their lives back! YOU can help them by voting for their attempt to win a Pepsi Refresh Challenge $50K prize toward important research into this by Dr M. Cunningham, who is connected to Dr S Swedo(NIMH), who first identified PANDAS here is where you can vote ( you get 10 votes a day till the end of May, one vote per cause, and when you look thru the list, you will surely find 9 more causes to support with your vote Just remember to ONLY vote Project PANDAS in the 50K category and use your other votes for those in the other prize categories) Please remember to vote for Project P.A.N.D.A.S each day in the 50K category! http://www.refresheverything.com/PANDAS and to learn more about the project and the parents and PANDAS here is the FaceBook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pepsi-...9986829?ref=ts Vote Vote Vote!!!!! A precious child in crisis needs help!
