Worthy cause to vote for, if a simple click-and-vote from me can contribute to putting a smile on someones face I'll do it. So, done!

Good luck to her!

Thanks everyone for voting for her, she's slipped back into second place so if anyone can think of any other way for me to get some votes for her, it'd be appreciated. I can't help her with her cancer but if I can help her live her dream then I'm going to try every means possible.

How far behind is she voteswise? How many votes would it take to give her a steady lead? Will see if I can spread the word a bit but can't promise too much unfortunately :( I only have one Facebook account to vote from, if it was per email address it would be a different story ;)

Thanks for any help you might give!!

She's currently 45 votes behind the drag queen, and the lead is increasing quite rapidly it seems.

Thank you! She's now in third place and her video is now uploaded. Looking for any more votes. She really does deserve something good in her life

Amy passes on her thanks, she said that the support she has received on all parts has been overwhelming.

Thank you to everyone who voted, Amy won the public vote!!! Now it is up to the judges as to what they vote for, we're hoping that they love her video. We find out on Monday if she's won, we're keeping everything crossed! Thanks again, and I will let you know on Monday if she's won.

This is great she's won the public vote, all I can say is I hope the judges have their heart in the right place too!

I must admit I'm a sucker for the smile she has, but after what she's been through she more than deserves to win this! I look forward to hearing she's won on Monday!

SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Amy just got the call from the Judges to let her know that she won their vote too!

So she's off to the ARIA's! Thank you again to everyone who voted and put out the call for more votes! We can't thank you enough and the support she has received has been awesome.
