SteveO,
While I very much appreciate the thought, we don't need funding for the trip. We've been lucky in life and there are many other, more deserving needs that crowd sourcing can help. I'm just hoping for votes. The experience of walking on the Churchill Downs track and seeing the horses up close would give her more than money can buy!
While I too wonder about the method of some of the voting, and won't resort to some of the devious ways this could be manipulated, I understand the reason they've done this. Think of how many more know about their work as a result of this social media spread.
As for a long shot? Frankly, I thought so too, until we got almost 500 votes in a little more than 24 hours. We ARE catching up! The top 141 go (and reading some of the stories, it's heart-wrenching to think many won't go). But a random sample shows the voting drops quickly after the top 10. I'd like to see Lyn be one of them!
Please keep up your voting, and again, THANKS!
