kboz61 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 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. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheCheshireCat Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I would have voted for candidate 1 regardless after reading those, even if he was born into the most die-hard CU fans who ever lived. Good luck to them (and everyone else on that list) and our prayers are with you. Quote Link to comment

A little honesty goes a long way, sorry for your hardship. Uh...I live in Oklahoma. I am a huge Oklahoma fan. I am not related to this family in any way. I heard their story after my brother purchased a dog from them as they were trying to raise money for medical bills. This is a tremendous family and I'm proud to know them as we have met. And yes, they are huge Husker fans. I am just trying to help. Sorry you are so skeptical. Quote Link to comment

I voted for candidate no 1. It doesn't matter who it is or if they are posting here for votes. I am just grateful I was not dealt a hand in life like this with anyone in my family or my kids. I hope they win this new car. Driving a Tahoe with 300k miles has to cost a lot just to maintain the vehicle. Keep us posted kboz61!!! Quote Link to comment

Little bit harsh don't you think? After reading I voted for #1. Good luck to the family. I don't care if the family if CU/OU/TX or ND fans for that matter. That family has quite a survivor there and deserves a break from worries like a car. Quote Link to comment
