Hello Everyone

There's a campaign going on with Colgate for different hospitals in different states. The hospital with the most votes will win a new playroom.

This is a 30 second process... please pass this on to as many people as you can.

Please go to the web site below and vote for Houston (Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital ) to get a new hospital playroom from Colgate.

Visit the contest Web site today at www.colgate. com/showthelove

to place your vote the one in my area is for ChildrenÂs Memorial Hermann Hospital . Voting ends Feb. 29, and you can vote once per day.

It was an easy process and would benefit so many of our children that spend their time at the hospital. Send it on to all you know and see if we can win this for the kids.

VOTE TO HELP CHILDRENÂS MEMORIAL HERMANN HOSPITAL WIN A FUN CENTER

Make a difference in the life of sick and injured children by voting to help patients

at ChildrenÂs Memorial Hermann Hospital win a Fun Center from Colgate-Palmolive and Starlight Starbright ChildrenÂs Foundation.

"Play is an integral part of the healing process because it allows young patients to

distract themselves from pain and anxiety," said Richard Weir, director of the Child Life Program at ChildrenÂs Memorial Hermann Hospital . "If a child is lying in bed doing nothing, they tend to focus more on pain and it takes longer for them to recover.

If they have the opportunity to play, children are much more motivated to move around and focus on recovery."

Thank you
