However, to win, we need votes and that's why we've contacted all our friends for them to have a read and if they feel he's doing a good job, then to vote for him.

Here's his 'story', albeit a true one!:

Life s-s-saver
"Snakebite victims rarely die quickly. Death usually comes as the result of upper airway obstruction which leads to choking, or slow suffocation as powerful neurotoxins breaks down your respiratory system. And there’s really no greater despair than sitting around helpless while listening to another human being gasping for a breath of air that will not come!

Which is why when I first visited Papua New Guinea, I was shocked that so many people living in rural communities died from snakebites. In just one week, I discovered that three out of four snakebite victims brought to the local health centre died in this horrible way. This led me to devote my life to a career in research, training and education, to prevent other Papuans from experiencing this cruel fate.

Over the past six years, I’ve conducted research, planned and ran training courses for doctors and care-givers, taught villagers first aid, risked life and limb to catch deadly snakes for anti-venom manufacturing and even edited a textbook on the care for snakebite victims.

Today, I continue to help local doctors treat snakebite cases, and am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to any emergencies. While such commitment involves enormous personal sacrifice, it’s all worthwhile because nothing is more rewarding than knowing you’ve been able to help save a life that was so close to death!"
A Postgraduate Medical Researcher at the Australian Venom Research Unit, David Williams first visited Papua New Guinea in 1995. Over the years, he has developed a deep affection for the country and for his people who are among the friendliest and most genuine that he has met.

So far, it's been quite good as he's at top spot but we can't sit on our laurels just yet as contest ends end/Dec'07 and other contestants might have tons more friends than us so we're reminding our friends to spare a few minutes and go in to have a look.
I'm proud of my hubby! He's going a swell job in my opinion, even if he don't win!
