The following is an excerpt from an email sent to my pal Kim over at connorcolesmom
"I just wanted to follow up on the email I sent you last week. My organization, International Medical Corps, was nominated to be one of the
Top 25 in American Express' Members Projects,
"Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children."
Our project was chosen out of 1,190 projects and is now eligible to receive up to $1.5 million to help feed hungry children, but the voting ends next Tuesday and we need your help to spread the word."
International Medical Corps has been matched to one of the
Top 25 in American Express' Members Projects,
"Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children"
Chosen out of 1,190 projects, 'Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children' is now eligible to receive up to $1.5 million in funding. The project with the most votes receives $1.5 million, 2nd receives $500,000, 3rd $300,000, and 4th and 5th $100,000. The funding - made possible by your votes - would bring a vital lifeline to hungry and malnourished children around the world.
We need your help between now and September 29th.
Voting is easy and doesn't cost a thing! In just a click, you can save the lives of thousands of malnourished children.
Hunger and malnutrition kill more people in the world than HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. As food prices rise, this funding is even more critical. More people are being driven deeper into poverty trying to afford basic staples. Many have nothing to eat at all.

Your vote makes it possible for fewer young lives to be lost because they do not have enough to eat. Getting the word out to your friends and family makes a huge difference! Forward this link to a friend and you bring us that much closer to the $1.5 million to help malnourished children around the world!
So will you join me in saving the lives of malnourished children?
