  calling in on all "mercenary" paddlers to jump in this boat !!!!

This is so beautiful. It's too bad I only read it today. I promise to vote every day.

Good luck.

Time to take it up to the next level, I suggest posting it on facebook profiles to access that social network as well.  If everyone's got a couple hundred friends on facebook (I've probably got close to 800), and just a portion vote for your story, then that should blow everyone out of the water. 

I will do so when I get home from work

I'm taking a look at the website and I see some peculiarities.
1.  If you go to this link http://www.upromisetodream.com/ind-stories.html?storyID=8743
you will see the number of votes for this particular dream.
However, if you go to the main site http://www.upromisetodream.com and then click on View all dreams, then sort by most popular, you will see the dream in second place, but it has a different vote count.

2.  If I vote on the dream, the vote counter increments.  If I close the browser and go back to the page, the original count is there, as if I didn't vote in the first place.  I've tried this on a different browser and even on my smart phone.  Same deal.

Checked again and the counter is +15 more than when I last checked.  Perhaps there's a delay.
I'll be on this every day.

it was great to see all the Baby Avy support this weekend in San Fran! Thank you to everyone who wore the stickers or passed out info. Big Thanks to Hans (esp for wearing the stickers on his head) and Puppy who helped spread the word to all the teams.
There's been a surge in votes over the weekend, but there are A FEW DAYS LEFT so keep clicking! She still needs more votes! Remember you can only click once every 24 hours so go to as many computers/cellphones as you can to vote and tell others to do the same

To all of you, Dragonboatwest and the Canadian paddling community,

A heartfelt thanks to you on your tremendous and overwhelming support for my daughter Avy and our family.  The culmination of your efforts are being archived;  I am printing as much of the digital content as I can find to document this event so I can assemble in a binder/scrapbook, and share with Avy as she gets older.  I will tell her a story of the time that people from all over donated their generous spirit for her...

The contest has since ended, and we have not yet received the "official" results, but irregardless, we are so completely blessed to receive your thoughts and well-wishes.  A special thanks to Puppy and Hans for bringing so much attention and investing so much heart in championing this effort; despite the brief time afforded us to catch up at each race venue over the years, your friendship means much more.

Oh, and a hearty congratulations, AGAIN, to the Canadian teams One West and Jet Start for their well-earned placing at the Treasure Island Festival.  We have thoroughly enjoyed the competition over the years, and LARD will certainly strive to work to make it competitive in future years.  As much as we enjoy "Oh Canada",...

Cheers, All.
Leon
