E: 08/07/07 Loreal Gift Set

Hi Guys,

Long time lurker, and don't post much. Hoping that just a few of you check this out!

L'Oreal are giving away 250 gift sets to some lucky winners if they sign up and vote. My sister has entered my dad in for for voting , and he's currently in second place. Just some background:

He was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with bowel and liver cancer and was given just 8 weeks to live. However, he is a fighter and has just come through 2 major surgeries - one to remove his whole bowel and the other to remove 80% of his liver and has just had his 33rd chemotherapy! He refuses to give up and one of his goals is to walk my sister down the isle on 4th August this year.

My sister has entered Dad into the L'Oreal Worth It Dad's Competition as he has been through so much and is such an inspiration to so many people. At the moment he is in 2nd place. Please can any of you help us by voting? All you have to do is go to http://www.worthitdads.co.uk, register and vote. His name is Younus Hanif age 40-49. The competetion ends on 8th July, and you can only vote once each day, but please, please vote! He has no idea that any of this is happening and if he won it would give him a wonderful goal to aim for passed the wedding to get him through the remainder of the treatment!

And you might be in for a chance to win a L'Oreal gift set!

Cheers,

Jee

    Just voted. My daughter, in September had her large colon removed and then in March her rectum so I understand a little of what you are going through. All the best and I hope the 4th is a brilliant day. Love to see the photo of him all dressed up. Best wishes.
    have bookmarked it.

    Thanks,

    I have voted & bookmarked as I noted this competition can be voted DAILY.

    Might be worth posting on the regular competitions board so others remember to vote daily.

    Good Luck to you & your brave Dad
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    Thanks, I didn't think about that - can a moderator move this thread to that forum?

    Thanks for all your kind messages - it really helps!
