Win a Nintendo Wii and support a good cause
September 26, 2007 7:54 am Canada Allowed, Electronics Giveaway, Available Everywhere, US Allowed, Gaming and ElectronicsI’ve been wanting a wii ever since I borrowed a friends a month or so ago. I know, I could just go buy one but i cant seem to justify laying down $300 for one so heres hoping i win! The A-T CureTour website is having a contest for a very good cause.
In an effort to promote the A-T CureTour and raise further awareness about the A-T Children’s Project, we have decided to offer everyone that has their own website or blog a chance to win a Nintendo Wii!
Ataxia-telangiectasia, or “A-T,” is a progressive, degenerative disease that affects a startling variety of body systems. Children with A-T appear normal at birth, and the first signs of the disease usually appear during the second year of life. These first signs are usually a “wobbly” lack of balance and slurred speech caused by “ataxia,” which means a lack of muscle control.
I have never heard of this disease before and im sure many of you haven’t either but if you wish to know more visit their website.
So…How do you enter?
All you have to do to enter the contest is link to this post (using the anchor text Win a Nintendo Wii) and the A-T CureTour website (using the anchor text A-T CureTour) by posting the following two paragraphs on your blog or website:
Ultra-runner Tim Borland is running 63 marathons in 63 days in order to raise funds and awareness for the A-T Children’s Project in their quest for a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects children, giving them the combined symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and cancer. Children with A-T — born seemingly healthy — are usually dependent upon wheelchairs by the age of 10 and often do not survive their teens.
To run with Tim, join a tailgate party, or make a donation, please visit the A-T CureTour website. There, you can also view the daily video blog produced by filmmakers who are making an independent documentary on the A-T CureTour and enter a contest to Win a Nintendo Wii.
You then need to send an e-mail to ryan@atcp.org with your name, email address and the exact link to the post you have written regarding this contest. The subject of the e-mail should be Nintendo Wii Contest.
The contest ends on November 4th and even if you don’t win you are still helping a good cause…good luck everyone!
