Please help me with this - 03-17-2009, 03:33 PM


I have been a member here for about a year and I have not shared much information with the other members about me. In 2007 I lost my wife of 18 years to acute myeloid leukemia and since that time I have wanted to find a way to help it all make sense. Yesterday I found a contest online for a dream photo shoot and I would it would be great to have that shoot be a chronicle of impact that these blood cancers have on the victims and their families. I have entered the contest and the first phase is a public vote. The problem is that I found this very late in the voting period and the deadline for voting is April 3rd. I know this is not the purpose of the forum but I would like to ask everyone to consider voting for my project. I feel that this is a way that I can help other people struggling with this issue, more that just writing a check once a year. The link is:

Please don’t flame me for the post and I appreciate all the support I can get.

Thanks
Robert

My condolences for your loss. Unfortunately I have already given my vote to another photographer.

I think I voted, but I'm not really sure. I signed up, clicked above where it says to vote (actually clicked on the number of images box), then it wouldn't let me click again. So, hopefully, it counted.

It counted thanks so much. I am up to 42 votes. I need to be in the range of 180 to get in to the judging. Every vote helps. I want to thank everyone at TPF for their help.
