I hope this is permitted here. AMEX is donating $5 million dollars to the project that receives the most votes from its members. The ALS project has already made the top 25 cut and is now in the running for the top 5 run-off. It is in 7th place at the moment. Voting closes on July 22. It need fewer than 500 more votes to get into 5th place. You must be an American Express card holder to vote. Go to http://www.membersproject.com/intro.htm register and vote. Apparently it takes about 2 minutes. If nothing else, AMEX donates $1 for every vote cast for a project.

If you're not a member you could pass this to friends or post it on an ALS forum that you know of.
