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!

    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.

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

    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!

    You are right! The list says "final" and she is 2nd from the bottom so that makes her #143. Giddy up!

    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!
