Do It For Maddie
If you are on Twitter, you may have seen us sending “tweets” to the actor, Hugh Jackman. Why? Well, last week, Mr. Jackman pledged to donate $100,000 to charity. The catch is that he wants to be convinced via Twitter. He plans to announce the winner on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show on KIIS-FM Los Angeles on Friday, April 24 – the day before the March For Maddie.
If you have a twitter account, PLEASE cut and paste the following message to your twitter stream.
RT @mamaspohr: @RealHughJackman PLEASE donate your $100k to March of Dimes in honor of my baby #Maddie http://tinyurl.com/dnewtk
Don’t have a Twitter account? It’s free and easy. Go to www.twitter.com to sign up. Be sure to add Heather, Mike, and March For Maddie as friends so you don’t miss any updates on how to help.
Mr. Jackman, if you read this: PLEASE consider the March Of Dimes. Our baby was taken from us far too soon. With your donation, the March of Dimes will be able to pioneer more treatments that could lessen complications due to prematurity. We don’t want ANY other parent to suffer the loss of their child. Please, please help. And if you have any questions about the March of Dimes, talk to your mate Nicole Kidman – she’s a huge fan of the MoD!
******* UPDATE ******
If you’re interested in listening while Hugh Jackman makes his incredibly generous donation announcement, he’s calling the winner on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show tomorrow morning. Though the time hasn’t been stated, Ryan is on-air on KIIS fm (102.7) in Los Angeles from 5am to 10am PST.
You can listen by going to the website and clicking the “Listen Live” on the top left of the screen. I can’t guarantee that you’re going to be able to listen because it’s been blocked here in Canada due to licensing restrictions, but you’re welcome to try.
In the meantime, keep twittering:

To re-tweet simply copy and paste the above tweet into your twitter profile and post it. It’s that simple!
Now it’s time to flood Mr. Jackman’s twitter account with our tweets!

If you want to award it shirtless and with Wolverine claws this midwestern Maddie Lover WILL. NOT. COMPLAIN.
Just sayin.’
Consider it done!
Heather, you and Maddie have inspired me twice – first to post my first-ever blog response (on your blog) and now to sign up for Twitter – if only to tweet this one message. Fingers crossed!
I re-tweeted for you!
Just re-tweeted it for you as well.
Done! I’ve tweeted him a couple of times for Maddie and will continue to do so throughout the week! My heart breaks for you.
Re-tweeted! Twice!
I just did the retweet thing.
And yes. I agree with Moosh.
And I think Hugh is a total babe and will do this because it’s THE RIGHT THING TO DO. It really, really, REALLY is.
That was my first ever “tweet.” Is that right? I’m such a novice. But, I’d do anything for you my monchichi.
And, every mommy and daddy deserves their baby to be healthy. Best cause ever! Love you and miss you Ms. Maddie Moo!
I retweeted
hope it helps … All my thoughts & prayers to you both!!
I have resisted joining Twitter up until now, but this request easily changed my mind. I retweeted your message and will continue to do so throughout the week. Fingers crossed that Hugh listens to all of us who loved Maddie even though we never met her.
Happily retweeting. Hope that Hugh is listening.
Re-tweeted on my end!!!
Hi! My blog contributor just posted about the March of Dimes and included information about Maddie’s walk at the bottom. I’m also tweeted what you said… Good luck and God bless.

Done.
She passed away on the 24th anniversary of my sister’s death.
I’m donating as much as I can. I’m already a part of March of Dimes…
Know that my prayers are with you.
Much love.
I’ve been resisting signing up for Twitter, but I signed up for Maddie’s sake. Will continue bugging Hugh Jackman this week.
Stumbled, re-tweeted, loved up on.
I will Tweet until the cows come home (or until Friday!). Hope he does this for her.
Done! I hope he listens to all of us Tweeting for Maddie!!
I did it! I Tweeted for the first time ever (I didn’t even know what Twitter was until last week!) Will keep Tweeting him!
I reTweeted, and I will continue to do so for Maddie and all the babies who are born premature!
I have retweeted for you and Maddie!
Retweeted for you!!!

New to twitter and need “Retweet” instructions! Help!! In case I forget how to get back to this page, please email it to farah@emommie.com…
Thanks! Tomorrow’s the day!
I’m a “retweeting” fool!!!
Just re-tweeted! Will continue to do so throughout the day.
Does this mean we need to send him a tweet with Heather’s phone number? HOW will he know how to call her? :0)
@AMomTwoBoys — I am stalking the email and twitter account regularly in case someone contacts me for the information to get a hold of Heather and Mike.
I have never tweeted in my life, but going to sign up for this for Maddie xoxox
Just completed our walk for Maddie. St Louis Team Maddie raised $410.00
