legless123:

A good mate of mine who goes waaaay back to alt.tasteless days has asked me to beg you for a favour.

His friend, 19-year-old Casey is battling a painful form of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. Sadly, her cancer has metastasised into her lungs and right shoulder, and she will be having her right leg and part of her pelvis amputated this September because the chemotherapy she's going through made her leg so brittle it fractured just from walking on it.

A few weeks ago, Casey entered into a contest by Victoria's Secret. The prize is a trip to New York City for three days of pampering at a spa, hotel suite, $500 shopping spree and a tour of the city (although she seems to be more excited about being able to ride in an airplane for the first time).

As a special favour to me, please visit www.bodybyvictoria.com/#/Gallery/880 and cast a vote for Casey so she can experience this trip of a lifetime. Simply click on the blue heart next to her picture. You can vote once per day until the contest closes on September 14th.

Casey is currently at number 2 and I'd love her to win. Look at the hottie who's currently winning and then look at Casey again. Who really deserves to win? Give her a click.

P.S. Please pass this e-mail along to family & friends, and/or re-post it in your Facebook, MySpace, LiveJournal or Twitter!

Huh, weird. I didn't even remember making it a link. But fixed; thanks.

I voted, but the link is borked. She's about 20K votes behind, and the first girl seems awfully privileged.

Yeah, it's probably futile, and certainly beyond whatever forces I can bring to bear. And for some reason, that just means it needs doing more.

Frankly I have to wonder what blind people are voting for the girl that is in the 1 slot. She aint that eyecatching. Frankly 3 is much better, but thats just me. Either case I put my vote in for Casey, and am wishing her the best. Bone cancer is no fun. My mother had it along with breast cancer. Her case was worse because the cancer was in her spinal column. I guess I can say she was spared the pain and debilitation by the blood infection she got from the chemotherapy, but it doesn't make me love the clinic any more.
Hang on Casey, you are in our prayers!
