Could I ask for your help???

Here's the thing. I am inspired by people who do incredible things. There is a person who inspires me to reach my weight loss goals (in fact he's the reason I'm using myfitnesspal), and his story is incredible. He is a 30 year dialysis patient... he's had no kidney's since he was ten years old and though medically impossible? He's raced the Ironman Triathalon four times. Since Shad has tried to become an advocate for patient health by promoting exercise and healthy diet for patients like him to improve the symptoms of renal failure and help others live a more normal life.

He needs help though. He is trying to reach a national platform to get his word out to more patients!! To do so he is trying desperately to race the Ironman Championships this October through the Kona Inspired contest going on right now!!

If you all could find it in your heart to help by voting as many times as you are willing (by clicking this link and refreshing)... You are doing a great service to the patients Shad is trying to help. As of midnight last night me and my friends helped to raise over 12,000 votes but we will need many more to win for him... and I figure people like you, Inspired to better your world through hard work and dedication, would understand what he is trying to do better then anyone!!

Here is the link: http://apps.facebook.com/konainspired/?x=us_facebookapp_332_15

It will take you to a one min video where you will see him tell his story. There is a "vote" button in the lower left corner and if you refresh the page you can vote multiple times. The voting continues until July 3rd so if you could help share this?? I would be grateful!! THANK YOU to anyone who rallies to help!!
