Thanks to everyone who voted in the final poll! Unfortunately we have come to a tie, which means we have to run this tie breaker poll.

Please keep in mind that you can only vote for one charity in this poll and you cannot change it once you have voted.

This poll will run for around 24 hours and will end on the 27th of November at 11PM GMT.

Happy voting!



Name
Description


Alzheimers Society (http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/)
The word dementia describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language. Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or a series of strokes. Dementia is progressive, which means the symptoms will gradually get worse.


Ataxia (http://www.ataxia.org.uk/)
'Ataxia' means ‘lack of order’. People with ataxia have problems with movement, balance, and speech. Over 10,000 people in the UK have a form of ataxia. There is currently no cure but we are working to find one every day.




This poll will close on Thursday 27th November 2014 at 11PM GMT.

aww thanks to everyone who supported my charity and have read my posts (here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=816867&p=8291121#post8291121)) or listened to me talk about it the past few days. its not everyday i get the chance to talk about the condition or the charity seeing as no-one has any idea what i'm talking about..

i've said what i wanted now and its up to everyone else to decide but if you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them :)

thx guys

[Kardan]

Bumping this, because 24 hours seems like a very small time frame.

Voted ataxia.

[Sharon]

[OldLoveSong]

[Rachel]

It was a hard decision and I still support ataxia no matter what but I voted for Alzheimer's unfortunately.

[Chris]

Due to the downtime, I will extend the poll until 11PM GMT tonight.

Can you use my feedback from the previous thread and set the poll to actually close at 11PM?

No because you can only set it to end X amount of days after the poll starts. If I started the poll at 10:37 then it would have to close at 10:37 which isn't what I want.

It's not a bit deal if it goes over a bit anyway so I don't know what all the fuss is about.

You should be able to set a time? Unless that was introduced in vb5

I don't have access to a vb4 admin cp either so can't check what you can edit in there.

[Chris]

It's not an option in this version as far as I can see. If it was I would have used it on all the polls.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Voted Alzheimers Society.

[buttons]

would be nice if we could donate to a charity that doesn't get 10's of millions a year but hey what i can do

[The Don]

Voted for Alzheimers in the previous polls, voted Ataxia in this one. The money would be more beneficial to a smaller charity than one which already receives loads of donations and publicity already.

For anyone interested in the figures here:

ataxia (http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1102 391&SubsidiaryNumber=0)

That's not vbulletin 4 so the options are not with this versions.

Alzheimer, grandma has dimentia and its really bad :/

[Empired]

Voted Ataxia because I think it needs the funds more. Not that Alzheimers isn't a worthy cause, just they receive a lot more than Ataxia.

[Samantha]

Voted Ataxia, although my Nanny had dementia luckily she didn't get really bad that she forgot us all. However, a smaller charity may benefit the donation more :).

[Chris]

The poll has now closed and I can reveal the charity we will be donating to this year is: Alzheimers Society! Thanks to everyone who voted. Keep your eyes on the announcements forum for further details on Monday!
