This topic is about a request for daily voting in the "Hero of Hope – Patient Award" by Conquer Magazine. The person asking for votes is aiming to raise awareness about ostomies, educate people, and show compassion to both new and experienced ostomates. They also want to challenge any negative perceptions about ostomy appliances. Here are some helpful points related to this topic:

1. Voters are encouraged to return and vote every day until November 18, 2017. Using the browser's "back" arrow can help with repeated voting, though the rotating photo bubbles on the site might be a bit confusing.

2. The person requesting votes was not self-nominated; a friend submitted a letter on their behalf. They are one of only four finalists and feel honored by this recognition.

3. This nomination is seen as an opportunity for the ostomy community to have a voice in a broader forum. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of colonoscopies.

4. Forum members have shared that they were able to cast multiple votes successfully and confirmed that daily voting is possible, even by using the browser back button.

5. While one member expressed some discomfort with the competitive nature of the voting, they still support the effort. They noted that all the finalists have inspiring stories and that those who help others deserve support.
