Act Before Midnight September 30th To Support The Charity Clint Black And Julia Roberts Support

(1888PressRelease) Help this four-star charity win $250

,000 for rare disease research at leading universities.

Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN - Online and text votes are urgently needed in the final days and hours of September to help the International Rett Syndrome Foundation secure a September win in the Pepsi Refresh Challenge so the four-star charity can win $250,000 for rare disease research at leading universities. Clint Black, Julia Roberts and Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD) all have personal connections to this rare neurological disorder that robs young girls of their speech and hand use, and all have given their time to help accelerate treatments and a cure of this rare orphan disease. The voting is down to the wire and every vote counts.

Rett syndrome missed a win in August in the final thirty minutes of voting, and has stayed in the running. Your vote is needed up until midnight eastern on September 30th in a race to help this devastating autism spectrum disorder be able to fund critical research in 2011.

There are three ways to vote.

1. Send Text Vote to Pepsi phone 73774 - Type 100842 in the message field to vote

2. Vote directly from the Pepsi site: http://www.refresheverything.com/rettresearchtoreality

3. Use the Facebook app http://bit.ly/cxGvaf
