a really really easy favor!!!!

hey kids! can you do a friend of mine (and a bunch of really cool kids) a favor?

my pal, dan avritt (whom some of you know from his days in duluth and some of you know as my "lost" provider) works for camp heartland.

camp heartland is a ONE OF A KIND camp, based right here in minnesota, for kids with (or family members of people with) HIV/AIDS. it's a non-profit organization that could be up for a $10,000 grant through the minnesota timberwolves!

through the last couple of years, i've been so proud and envious of dan and his work with these kids, who come from all over the country to go to camp here. i've met a few, and they're really fkn cool. the camp is great and gives a lot of them hope and fun, and it would be awesome to get them some more support.

it's so so easy. just go to this link:
http://www.nba.com/webAction?actionId=secPoll&pollId=14953&showResults=true&team=timberwolves&useFrag=true
click "camp heartland," enter the non-spambot code given, and hit enter. no need to fill anything out, no spam, no nuthin'. just one button and vote.

AND YOU CAN DO IT ONCE A DAY FROM NOW UNTIL APRIL 15TH!!!

i'll be posting the link on my journal from now until that day, so please take the exactly 3 seconds to vote when you see it!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
