Please vote! Raise funds and awareness.

As most friends and family know, Ethan has Neurofibromatosis (NF1).

American Express is running a contest called The Members Project. A project for NF Drug Discovery Initiative has been entered by someone that has a son with NF.

American Express is providing $2.5 million in funding to carry out the winning projects, based on the total votes they win in the final round of voting:
  • $1,500,000 for the winning project
  • $500,000 for the 2nd place project
  • $300,000 for the 3rd place project
  • $100,000 each for the two remaining finalist projects


You do not need to be a cardmember to vote for this round. You'll have to register, but it only takes a minute. Only American Express card holders can vote in the final round.

Voting ends at midnight tonight (9/1). Please consider voting.
