Continue Voting Each Day in JULY for Narcolepsy Research!

The Narcolepsy ImmunoChip Project climbed to 33rd place in June, thanks to widespread support from our community! This grant proposal is automatically carrying over to July for a second try.  Volunteer coordinators learned a great deal in June about what it takes to win and now have a winning strategy in place.  So, please continue to vote each and every day in July for Stanford’s Center for Narcolepsy to receive a $250,000 grant from Pepsi® to fund critical narcolepsy research. Only the 2 highest-voted grant applications will be awarded. We are a small community compared to some other groups in the running. To succeed we need 100% daily participation of our entire community and their family members, friends (aged 13+) and medical providers, so please reach out to enlist their help!

Vote for Narcolepsy today and every day in July and watch the ranking improve! July 23 ranking @ 10 am ET:  33/197

KEEP VOTING every day. KEEP RECRUITING others to vote and REMINDING the folks you’ve already gotten on board to vote each day!!   Tell them how very important this research is to you and the narcolepsy community.

Join the Google Group for the Narcolepsy ImmunoChip Project

Coordinators will be working to form alliances with other groups wherein the supporters of each group use  one of their daily votes to support their own cause and the remaining 9 to support other causes in the alliance.  Each supporter who participates in shared voting earns up to 9 reciprocal votes per day for their own cause.  We can’t overemphasize the value of your participation in shared voting. Google groups have been set up to provide daily updates on the specific groups with which we have aligned.  To join, send an email to with the subject line “Narcolepsy ImmunoChip Project” and ask to be added to a ImmunoChip Google group.  You will receive an email invitation to join one of these groups. Just click on the link in this email to accept the invitation.  Once you have joined, ask the Group Administrator to invite your family members and friends who are supporting our cause.  Group alliances may change as the voting progresses so pay attention to the daily emails and/or check the Group’s home page for the latest updates. (To respect and protect the privacy of group members only the group administrator will have access to members’ contact information.)
