Talking November Folding Marathon!

What
To promote and expand the Folding @ Home team and raise awareness about the fight against disease. It will be a week long Folding marathon with give away prizes to any member that signs up and completes at least one work unit for team 44358.

When
The Marathon will start at 1200 GMT on Sunday 1 November 2009 and will end at 1200 GMT 8 November 2009.

How to participate
In this thread just post the fact that you want to be signed up for the marathon and post your Folding name if different than your computer forum name. If you do not wish to be eligible for the prizes please put that in your post also. I understand some members may not want the prizes, and there are people out there that really do want them. Once you have signed up...I will add you to the list of participants. I will track the stats of all members throughout the marathon. At the end of the marathon, I will check the stats of each member that signed up. If you have signed up and completed one work unit...your name will be entered into the list for the give away prizes. When the list is compiled, my 6 year old son will pick the winners. The order he picks them will have first choice of the prizes. If anybody else would like to donate a prize send me a PM and I will add that item to the list. If you win a prize...YOU WILL PAY NOTHING! Shipping world wide will be covered me

Example:
I'm in / Folding name- ScOuT / I do or do not want prize

Questions about running the clients please post them HERE
There are experienced members who can help you getting a client running and working on a disease.

If you would like to add the team tag in your sig...

You may never directly feel or witness the effects of your Folding efforts. Maybe not even your children. But...you are helping scientists chisel away at understanding the complex nature of diseases that kill tens of thousands per year world wide. Fold for humanity!
