I know this forum gets a ton of traffic so I thought I would post this here. There is a competition going on that I am sure a few of you have heard about. A hotel chain is giving away a vacation and more importantly promotion to a "hero". Well the snake world has one and he is competing in this contest in hopes of getting more funding through the notority of winning. David Williams is the guy and he has been working on snake bites in PNG and is trying to come up with a safe and less expensive anti venom for the common snake bites there that kill people from plan old lack of treatment.



You can vote once per email account and you can vote for 1-5 medals per vote. If you choose to vote make sure you pick 5 medals and use all your email accounts. Here is a quick run down of how to vote that I got off another site.



David Williams, who runs the PNG Snakebite Project in Port Moresby is trying to win a competition being

run by the Holiday Inn Hotel Chain, as a means of getting some PR for the project, and perhaps winning he

and his wife Rona the honeymoon they haven’t been able to afford since getting married 2 years ago.





Dave’s project suffers badly from under-funding, so he is keen to find any way he can to raise the profile of

snake bite injury in Papua New Guinea. If you don’t mind spending a few minutes casting some votes online

please follow the instructions below:





1 Go to this web site.. http://www.holidayinneverydayheroes.com/readmore.aspx?id=57&page=1





2 At the top right, click on "Register"....using your email address (Each e-mail address can only vote once)





3 Pick a password so you can get back in to vote after your email is validated...use anything!



(An email would be sent to your inbox)



4 Click on the "Complete the registration” button in the email and get taken back to the website



5 Click the view all stories....Go to "David Williams..."LIFE S-S-SAVER"... Click on "read more & vote"



6...Click on 5 medals equals 5 POINTS..(Make a comment if you wish)



7 Click "submit" .. and voila you’re done!!!



Please circulate this to your friends and ask them to vote as well.
