SOUTH LYON ? Help change the life of one special little girl. You need NOT make a donation. You need NOT attend a benefit. All you need to do is give 30 seconds of your day, until May 10th, and you can change the life of Breanna Rose Strange.

Breanna Rose, 11, has suffered all her life with Dystonia, a rare neurological disease in which sustained painful muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Her condition prevents her from walking, crawling, sitting up or even holding a toy. She is confined to a wheelchair.

Transportation of a disabled child is very draining, both physically and monetarily. Breanna is now at that age where lifting her and her wheel chair in and out of a vehicle has taken its toll. She now requires a handicapped accessible van. Your vote in an online-contest sponsored by The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association could get her that van ? for free.

Breanna has had 10 surgeries and more than 1000 routine physical therapy and doctors visits, a serious strain on the family?s pocket books. They can?t afford the nearly $55,000 they?d have to spend on a handicapped accessible van. But there is a way.

The Mobility Equipment Dealers Association is hosting a contest through May 10 that will give the winners one of three fully equipped handicapped accessible vans. With your help, Breanna?s Parents could win one for Breanna.

The top five vote getters will then go before a committee that picks the three winners. To vote, click on MobilityAwarenessMonth.Com

You can vote everyday, once a day from the same IP address. That means you could vote once a day from your home computer or smart phone and once from your work computer.

Why is MITechNews.Com backing this charitable contest? Breanna?s father David Strange has been a loyal business partner and friend to Editor & Publisher Mike Brennan for more than a decade. He designed the web site and most of the ads that appear on it.

?I urge you to help Breanna Rose get the wheelchair accessible van she so desperately needs,? Brennan said. ?David has devoted his life to helping his daughter. He deserves not only our support, but our respect.?
