I need your HELP in winning the 2009 Veggie Awards. I have been nominated in two categories:

1. Favorite Athlete (page 5)

You can vote as many times as you want and you DON'T have to fill out any identifying info if you choose not to.
Just go directly to PAGE 5 and PAGE 6 and vote for me in the two categories if you are short on time.

OK, I voted. Now I want to know how your race went on Saturday, if you were able to cross the line with your lips of shame held high, and so forth.
