Normal Moments and its founder Tricia Fragen have been chosen as one of the eleven finalists for Martha Stewart’s Dreamers into Doers Award. Through Martha Stewart, Normal Moments has received so much national publicity, and that has been great for us. Recently we have heard from people outside of the Chicago area who would like to help Normal Moments and its cause. That is so awesome!

We are currently running neck-and-neck in the People’s Choice Award with Kathy Tolleson and ROAR Motorcycles for Women. Please help Normal Moments win the People’s Choice Award and register to vote once every 24 hours at the Dreamers into Doers Award website. The voting runs through November 18, so there isn’t much time! Hurry over to the site and vote now! Then, spread the word to your friends and family, post about it on your blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Pownce, on Ning, and anywhere else you can get the word out! Help us help the critically ill children and their families now!
