My fiancee's step father, John, has been recently diagnosed with ALS (Lout Gehrig's disease). He is a general contractor who has touched countless people with his ability to make their home improvement dreams come true. John now needs your help. The family home is now in need of repair to help him perform daily tasks that you or I may take for granted. Tasks like using the bathroom, taking a shower, eating dinner with his family or simply leaving the house. The family is involved in a national contest through Home Depot to win a $25000 gift card. This money will help them make their home more accessable for John. The contest is through YouTube and part of the voting relys on the number of views their video receives. We would like your help in spreading this inspirational story to your friends and family. The contest ends on 12/15 at 11:59:59 so time is of the essence. You must watch the video online via the following link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JIKP0PSan1Y

Anything you can do to help will be much appreciated.
