Default Helping a friend

A good friend of mine is a finalist in the Porsche Passion contest. His name is Thomas and he is blind. This doesn't stop him though as he wrench's on the car to the best of his ability and his wife does DE's. His passion for the brand is beyond most anyone I know. The winner gets a trip to Barber for the Porsche Driving School, which his wife would get to experience. If you would please vote for him it would be majorly appreciated. His essay is on page 3 of the entry, Thomas from McLean, VA. PCNA said they may be moving his submission to page 1.

Voting ends soon, so go to:

https://porsche.promo.eprize.com/passion/

You can vote once a day for the next week.

Thanks
Brian

Voted. Good luck to him! Sounds as if he wasn't always blind.

speedfreak81, your are correct. He has a disease that has slowly taken his sight. His positivity towards life is absolutely amazing. His wife has also been amazingly supportive. The loss of sight has actually driven his career as he works for an advocate group for helping the blind. Really amazing story and a great family
