We sent out an eblast to our email list.

With your amazing support and that email, we're now up to 655 votes. Don't let that stop you!

The other charities could do the same at any minute and we may be back in a tight race. Lets keep them chasing their tails for as long we can!

Thank you again... I know I'm saying that a lot, but we REALLY appreciate all your support!

Thanks again folks.

We're knocking it out of the ballpark, but I don't want to get over confident. Still it's nice to see us doing so well - particularly when compared to some of the more "well known" causes and charities.

This is so exciting for us - to see everyone jumping in to help and support the awareness that this will bring!

Cheers,
Laurie

Click/Vote for ALS Continues!

It looks like they’re allowing the existing votes to stand and just extending the votes until Friday. (as opposed to building a shortlist and having a re-vote between a few charities)

Here's the link again: http://twestivaltoronto.uservoice.com

So there’s still time for people to vote. We have a good lead, but that can change at any time. It’s important that we keep the votes coming. Here’s how you and your friends can help:

• Blog about it
• Put it on their facebook status update
• Post it on any groups they belong to – either on facebook or yahoo groups… anywhere they have online friends.
• Emails friends, coworkers and anyone else who they know.
• Vote from different computers and/or locations – if they have access to a computer at work, school etc. they can vote again.

Everyone here has made a HUGE impact. We can’t thank you enough!

We think this is a tremendous opportunity to get the word out about ALS. The event last year received coverage from several major media outlets and this year we expect to see even more of that. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need assistance.

Thanks again for your support!

Please keep up the enthusiasm and effort. I'll post a new thread, in case people think this one is dead.

Thanks guys.

I'm getting a bit nervous. In the past few hours, the Make A Wish and Rethink Breast Cancer folks have gained hundreds of votes and while we're gaining.. we're doing so at a much slower pace.

Essentially, at this rate, they'll be in the lead by morning.

If you have any suggestions or ideas - or any other groups or forums you belong to - please ask everyone you know to vote.

Thanks again - you've all done tremendous work!

Sincerely,
Laurie Pringle
