I previously mentioned that Vivint have announced that any charities
in the competition who get more than 5,000 votes will go into a draw
which has two prizes of $25,000.

There will be a maximum of 94 charities in the draw (=100 - 1 (overall
winner) - 5 (regional winners)) but probably around 50 or 60 will make
it, so any charity who gets in has a reasonable chance).
The National ME/FM Action Network has already qualified for the draw
as have the WPI if they don't win their region (it looks very likely
the WPI will win their region, while similarly it looks very unlikely
the National ME/FM Action Network will win their region - they would
need around 1500 votes per day till the end when they have got over
200 only once I think (220)).
The IACFS/ME http://www.vivint.com/givesbackproject/charity/1124 are
up to around 70 votes a day from just a handful of votes before the
draw was announced.
However, the IACFS/ME needs to get up to 235 votes a day from today on
to get into the draw for the two prizes of $25,000.
If anyone thinks the IACFS/ME is worth voting for in these
circumstances, here's how:
1) 'like' here: http://www.facebook.com/VivintHome - only needs to be done once
2) Click vote at: http://www.vivint.com/givesbackproject/charity/1124
