FitGems FitMom Contest

[MsGuns]

I'll be making this announcement on my blog and site, but you are the first ones to get the details on this.

As you all know, it's amazing that you women put so much to be in amazing shape, but when you're a mother doing this...that makes it even more special. That's why this Mother's Day, I'm going to give a mother in the industry some money as my way of saying..."Thank you for being an inspiration to moms everywhere. It will be between $50-100 USD. I'm leaning towards $100 USD. I'll will pay you through PayPal. You can use the money however you wish. You can put it towards a future competition, buy diapers, put it towards food, clothing for you and your family, put it towards a vacation, pay gas, I don't care.

The winner will be announced on Mothers Day (May 10), and the winner will be paid during that week.

By Thursday, I'll have more info on how you can enter this special contest, as well as the rules on this, and how others can get involved as well.

PM FitGems for more info....

Thanks for posting this, MsGuns!

BTW, This Saturday is it. After Midnight (eastern time) on Saturday, no more nominations will be taken.

Just thought I've give you a heads-up on that. PM me for details. :)

As I mentioned first on Twitter, I've decided to extend the deadline of the entries to Monday at noon eastern time.

Seven entries thus far.

Depending on how things go, I might have another one by years end. However, expect this to be an annual thing, around Mother's Day each year. :cool:
