A shameless ask for your help -The final update

This is not coin related (unless we want to tie it into the Breast Cancer coins!), but I would like to ask the coin community for their help in voting for my mother in law. Every year before the Kentucky Derby, they have the Kentucky Oaks. It is tied into breast cancer awareness. They do a survivor parade before the race, and my mother in law is trying to make it in this year. The voting ends today at midnight, and by our best calculations she is barely outside of the top 144, which is how many are selected. Can you throw a few votes her way? It lets you do 10 votes per IP address. Thanks for considering!

Vote #692
vote #699
Did not keep track of my votes but got 10 in.
I voted once, will keep trying for more but site is very slow for me.
I suggest people also read the bio.
It usually isn't slow, but it is for me today as well. My guess is a ton of votes are flooding in today. Think of the US Mint site on a hot release day

Super slow for me also but I got in vote #722. Hopefully it is slow because everyone on this forum is casting a vote for her. What a strong mother-in-law, mom and grandma, Cancer sucks and it looks like she is putting it in its place. We should all be cheering for her on Derby Day.

Happy to do it. Bless her.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Voted
I voted 10x's. I was 866-875. Good luck to your Mother.
Later, Paul.
Done deal...10 years is a long time..God bless her.
885 here. God bless Gwen. I live just a few miles south of her in Cleveland, TN.
She used to be a teacher at Walker Valley
Small world. Daughter went to high school there.
Ok I voted several more times. Got her to 900. Will try from work tomorrow also.
It ends at midnight tonight. Thanks for your votes!
Thx for the heads up. Will try to get a few more in now.
Now @ 906. Best of luck & please let us know if she makes it into the parade.

Number 910.
Even though it says you can vote once a day it will take several or 10 votes per email/IP address, per day.

Voted until it wouldn't let me anymore. Hope she makes it!
Got my 10 in, I hope she makes it.
Is that a Morgan she's sitting on?
I'm honestly not sure what kind of horse it is. It's at my sister's farm in Bowling Green, KY. It was taken a few years ago at the Derby party she always has. If she makes it, I will update with pictures
I honestly have no idea if she will make it, as it seems everyone is getting tons of votes this last day. She's picked up over 300 votes today though, thanks largely to yall!
Just voted 10x. Hope your mom makes it to the survivor parade.

I just saw this and can't figure out how to vote.
Only a few minutes left.....
How do you vote?
Ended at midnight. Hope she garnered enough votes to make the trip.
...the fastest two minutes in sports
looking at the standings on the home page she may be in spot 143!

Sorry I missed this... not usually on in the evening.... I hope she makes it.... let us know... Cheers, RickO
And next year let us know sooner.
Wow, just checked!! She would not have made it without yalls help!! Thank you so much!!!! We will update with pictures when the big event happens
I honestly don't know why I didn't think of sharing here sooner. We've been all sharing on facebook, but it took the coin community push to get her there!
You are right! The list says "final" and she is 2nd from the bottom so that makes her #143. Giddy up!
Fantastic news. In the many years to follow please let us know sooner.

They ask those that have gotten to walk in the parade to let others have a chance in future years, so this will probably be a one time thing. Thanks guys!
