Six years ago the Marshall family from N. Platte had a little boy. They expected to have to bury him shortly after he was born. The doctors gave the parents no hope for survival. But survive he did while enduring a lot of medical treatment and near death experiences. Today, this little boy continues to amaze all who come into contact with him. Although born into a huge Husker family, a large number of Oklahoma Sooner fans heard Ethan's story and rallied behind the family providing emotional and financial support when they were in their darkest days. It is a fascinating story about great rivalry with fans who know when to put the rivalry aside. Some of the Oklahoma coaching staff has even got involved with Ethan, although you have never read about it in the papers.
The Marshall family now needs some help. There is a car dealership that is giving away a car. Families get nominated, and their stories are then posted on their website for people to vote on. The family that gets the most votes then receives a car. Ethan Marshall's Family (his story is at Ethanmarshall.com) was nominated, and their story was selected for this month. There were over 3300 entries, and they were one of the 5 picked. The stories are posted at http://woodhouse.com/difference/vote.htm and they are Candidate #1, so if you get a chance please go online and vote and please tell all your friends! They really could use a new car. The one they have now was given to them used and they have about driven it into the ground with all the driving they do for medical treatments. Please help this great Husker family.
