We apologize for broadcasting about this for the umpteenth time but the simple fact is that there are 32 hours to go and we're still in the pack but holding on by the skin of our teeth. We need to put on another 50 votes before 3 pm ( PST ) 6pm ( Eastern ) 11 pm ( UK time ). Thats when the next ranking takes place. If you havent voted please vote now. If you have please call a friend ( or 2 or 3 ) and ask them to vote too. If you're feeling adventurous you could try using your gift vote. You'll find directions here:-

This can result in two extra votes if you exchange with someone else who's going to vote for us as well. You could also use some of your votes on other charities ( please pick charities in the top 100 who we are not in direct competition with ) and leave a message on their comment wall.

Something like this:-

If you do this don't forget to add the whole message above including the url. This method has proven quite effective in getting new votes.

All in all we hope you'll do all of the above and keep doing it for the next two days. WE ARE SO CLOSE BUT IT COULD COME DOWN TO LITERALLY ONE VOTE BY MONDAY. WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN DO IT
