This a particularly rough month for LWB, because some hackers sabotaged their website and caused about $50k worth of damage ... so if you can get a few new donors to the cause in the next couple of hours (before 3pm EST), it would be absolutely <i>tremendous</i>! Keep spreading the word! Guys … there are four hours left in the contest, and Love Without Boundaries (3049 donors) was just passed by the Tibetan Freedom Movement (3113 donors).
