Thumbs up I'm not above groveling for a good cause

I'm not normally a bleeding heart and to be quite honest, I am usually somewhat skeptical of giving to supposedly "worthy causes". However, in this case I know a person who is trying to do something good for an honest reason and I don't mind supporting him. This guy's wife has MS and she is slowly deteriorating. He has entered a contest where he can win if lots of people comment on his youtube video. If any of you are up for it, it doesn't cost anything other than having a free youtube account, logging in, and posting a comment in the comments section. He is keeping a spreadsheet of where the comments come from so you can put down that you are from TMS if you want to. Thanks for any of you that take the time to give this guy a hand.

Placed my comment just now. Another website that you could go to is the forums over at www.racingjunk.com . I am on there too and they are a great group of guys that are family to me even tho I have never met them in person. That should tell you how they are.

I appreciate the help guys. It is kind of strange, the person who is just ahead of him in votes did this hideous rap video trying to win. That guy's name is Alex. Then somebody named Alex must have done a search on his wife's name, found her website, and snitched Branndon off about the contest. I don't know for sure that it was the same Alex and if it wasn't, then no ill will towards him but it is awfully suspicious since she doesn't know an Alex. If anybody can put the link up on any other websites they are registered on, I would appreciate it. Thanks again for any help you can give.

I can relate to a family crisis situation and making the best for a loved one Worth the while but a stupid rap video over say 2 if I had to chose the moral & just cause of something easily out weighs my point of view I Hope Branndon can get this .

Thanks for allowing my video to be shared here! I haven't posted before now because I didn't want to intrude. I appreciate the efforts you have made so far.

We were doing pretty well, now someone new has joined and they have 3x the amount of votes we do. If you would like to, please help me out.
