Talia is one of my students. She has Down's Syndrome and a very rare metabolic disorder called CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy), and has had numerous operations. She has trouble walking and wears leg braces. Despite all of that she is bright and funny and charming and just one of the nicest people I have ever known. And all she wants is a bike.
You don't have to donate any money (although you can if you want; the money goes to the overall "bike pool" for the charity). All you have to do is log in and vote for her. I did it with Facebook, but you can do it with an email address too. Click the "nominate" button on the site linked below. The contest ends in 16 hours so time is of the essence.
I don't make serious posts very often. But Talia could really use all our votes.
