Default CP JIHAD! Help a friend in need

Hello CP Community,

I am posting this on behalf of a good family friend. Please vote and send this on to your friends!

Thank you all so much,
CGY

Everyone,
I don't think I've sent one of these "everyone in your personal address book" type messages since the late '90s (wow, I'm getting old!), because most of the time they're bogus in some way. This is something I'm personally involved with though, and it's important, so I'd like to take just a moment of your time. In short, I'm trying to rally support for my friend Crystal, who's dying of cancer and has a seven month old baby, so her and her family can win a $50K prize from a local Calgary radio station. It would help them out so much (food, cleaning, education fund for their daughter), and they need it. Voting is simple and fast, with no registration needed.
Some of you may already know the story, but if you don't, here's a short
version:

[if you're a blogger, it would be great for you to blog about this and link to that page]

Voted. That is a sad story. I really hope she wins this for her little one. Cancer is such a tough thing and she is so young. My thoughts are with her. I'll send this to the whole student body at the U of A (I still have all the contacts from when I was there as I updated databases for them) as well as everyone at the City. Hope she wins!

EDIT: It says we can vote as many times as we want by Nov 25th? You'll get a couple thousand from me alone! lol

Voted... what a tragic set of circumstances.

Were I in the contest, I'd withdraw and ask all my votes go to them.

I am thinking about sending her story to Ken King, but I am not sure that the Flames Organization would donate to one person specifically... does anyone have any suggestions?
