Smile Help my nephew & get all my WU for a month. (2-3k PPD)


We're all doing this because it's fun and also because we know we are doing something good. I'm hoping this community will help me do something good for my nephew. My sister and her husband entered into a contest and they can win $10,000 scholarship money for their child. They make very little money on a yearly basis and I'm trying to help them win this contest so their son can have a shot at college.

Please vote for him at:
http://www.evenflo.com/tabid/210/pho...5/Default.aspx

You can only vote once a day in 24 hour sessions and voting ends on September 15th. So if you voted at 10am today, you can not vote again till 10 am tomorrow. The site will keep track of your IP so you can not vote more than once from the same computer. If you have multiple IPs, please vote more.

What am I offering?
If he wins, I will give you all my WU for a month. I produce between 2000 and 3000 PPD for my team. Before you bash me for being on a different team, I promise if my nephew wins and you are picked, I will vote for this team. No matter what team we're on, we're just trying to help people out or we wouldn't be folding in the first place.
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=11108

If you don't want my WUs for the month, thanks for voting. If you want my WUs if he wins, please say so the first time you vote for my nephew and make sure to give me your folding name. If he wins, I will let my sister randomly pick an ID and that person will get all my WU for the month.

Please post every time you vote. I want my sister to see people are supporting her.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN VOTE ONCE A DAY. Even better if you put it on your electric calendar to remind you everyday until September 15th.

Thanks and let's keep folding.

I've had several people telling me from other teams that it's not fair that only one person on one team will benefit for helping my nephew and I say that person is right. I'm changing my offer. One person will get all my WU for a month, and if my nephew wins, each team with at least one vote will also get all my WU for a month. Basically if my nephew wins, this team is already guaranteed to get my 80k+ points for a month.

Thanks everyone and keep voting.

Nobody on this team wants to do something nice? I'm offering all my points to help a poor kid have a chance in life. Please reconsider.

I've thrown a few votes your way, but I don't really care about the points, it's all for a good cause.

Voted, but don't want the points. What was that shot with? Looks like a P&S, the lighting on the right side of the photo is kind of too much.

Thanks for voting. JaGWiRe, I have no idea what that was shot with. I'm pretty sure they have a Canon Powershot something.

Keep voting!!!

I'm going to say that this is officially over. I'm about 3 hours early till midnight but I'm going to call this a success. I want to thank all the people on this team who voted. You are very kind and my nephew thanks you. They will announce the winner no later than oct 31. I will come back for a final post when I find out. Hopefully, it's good news. If it's good news, I will join this team for a month. I truely appreciate the kindness.
