    Hey Guys

    I know this is not Bio Fuels related, but here goes anyways.

    United Airlines is giving away 10 million air miles to worthy charitable company's and institutions. 30 in total. Most of these are from the US or Europe, we have only one here in Australia, that being The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. Yes , it's where i work.

    The idea is to vote on the website, ( http://www.10millioncharitymiles.com/charity/32 ) , for VCCRI until the end of Dec. It does not cost anything to vote except a few minutes of your time.

    We are currently sitting at position 15, the number one spot is some Hospital in the US.

    I am asking all members here to go to the web page and throw your vote in, pass it along to your work colleagues and family friends, you'd be doing Heart research a big favor.

    The air miles would allow for our researchers to fly over seas or bring in other researchers here to Australia to show break throughs in Cardiac research. VCCRI depends a lot on donations from people like you and me, some Govt grants and the like.

    If the site founders think this is not right for the forum, let me know and remove the post at your discretion.

    I thank you all in advance for your time and your votes. Victor Chang, was a great man and fortunately for me, i get help out with keeping his legacy alive by maintaining the Institute and all infrastructure within.

    Thanks all, Hobes.
