Just had this back from the contest organisers:

Hi Sasha, thank you for your message. Anyone can vote for a cause, in the UK or otherwise - the restriction is only on the causes themselves: they must be UK based. Good luck and thanks for your interest

So that's good news! Anyone can vote. I'll edit my message earlier in this thread accordingly. :)

Thanks for finding that out, Sasha. I've amended my opening post as well.

Invest in ME are in second place! :)

They only need about 110 votes to take 1st place!

Bob, would you have any objection to the thread being renamed, 'Vote just once, from anywhere, for Invest in ME to win £2,000'?

I think it would be good to get it into the title about the international voting and that it's not daily (argh!) voting.

Edit: I think you must have gone for a lie down or something, Bob! I hope it's OK with you but I'm putting in the request for the name change so that we can catch people before the site quietens down for the weekend. :)

I see it's been changed now. Thanks Sasha: Anything to get more votes!
If you think I should re-write my opening post, then just give me some alternative text, or throw some suggestions my way.

Invest in ME are still second, and slowly creeping towards a win. 100 votes needed for 1st place.

I reckon we can close that gap with international voting!

I note, in the context of our recent Nature's Bounty experience in the avian department, that we have 477 votes and the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) has 2! Yes, 2! :)

I think these bigger charities haven't even noticed this contest so let's take full advantage!

Vote! :D

Voted! Thanks for flagging this up Bob

Invest in ME 2nd with 478 votes. 1st place 575 votes. 3rd 396 votes.

If international forum members vote, winning this is well within our reach!

EDIT: oh, and as mentioned earlier, we're already sitting on £1000 by virtue of being second. So worth voting, if only to stay in position

We've closed the gap a little bit, but not much - we're still in 2nd place with 550 votes and the leader has 636.

We need more votes! Tell your friends! :)

Leaps and bounds! We've closed considerably on first place today - we're now just 49 votes behind.

Anybody not voted yet? It's really quick!

We've got an article coming up on it here on PR, which will probably also go on Co-cure. If anyone can promote it elsewhere, great! :)

Actually, someone else just put it out on Co-cure so that's one job we can cross off the list!
