I wanted to share with you this video that was put together to try to raise some support for our friends' daughter, Irelyn. Irelyn is an amazing 3 year old little girl who has Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) otherwise known as Brittle Bone Disease. She is also very special to our family and great friends with our kids. She was selected for Make A Wish and there's a hurdle that her family has to overcome in order to make her wish possible. Please watch this video to learn more. After you finish watching the video, please vote for the video as she is in the running to win the contest on slideshare.net and receive $5000.

Such a brave little girl. Most unfortunate that some children have to suffer right from birth and others don't.

Aw! Seems so unfair for children to suffer with any kind of disease. I hope she will be OK.

What a horrible thing.... so hard to be a kid if you're always worried about broken bones! I wish them well.

Awww...how sad. Make a wish is a great foundation. My cousin got to make one and it's amazing.

What a brave and courageous little girl. I hope they win the extra money for the backyard.

Such a terrible thing for such a sweet girl to endure.

I love the photos though and the first set of booth snaps are AWESOME! So much fun!
