May 12th has submitted his entry in the Aviva Contest. He has been crashing since the conference in Ottawa and asks for help in spreading the word about the contest, especially to Canadians. Voting begins tomorrow on Oct. 3rd at 12:pM EST. If you have suggestions on any needed word changes in his entry, please let him know. He can edit his project at any time. (He is on Facebook, and I am pretty sure he is on Phoenix Rising, too.) Thanks for your help!

Thanks everyone for voting! The vote is now at 196. I just did some posting on various ME Facebook sites and hope it helps.

Hope it will help.
I think that it helps when people post here thaat they have voted because other people might see it and it bumps the thread.
So, I voted today and will vote every day.

Is anyone else having a problem voting? I keep getting the message that I've already voted today...after more than 48 hours! I've logged off and on a few times to no avail...think I'll send them an email.

FWIW, just this minute I was able to vote ok, around 24 hours since I last voted.

567 votes now. Haven't read the rules, etc. to see if this means it has a chance/is in a winning position, or not.

It might be a good idea to make a comment on the voting page about the value of this project to our ME/CFS, FM, MCS, and GWS communities to be used in the judging phase of the contest. Thanks.
