This is Broadie...some of you will have seen him from a blog post a few weeks ago. He sent out a message asking all his friends to help his Aunty Hedder, and I HAD to forward it to you....they need our help people. Read on:
Brody's Aunt, Heather Hughes, is a DIE HARD Cubs fan!
For as long as anyone can remember, she has loved the cubs.
Kelly, her sister, doesn't think she misses a game, whether watching it on TV, listening to it on the radio or attending an actual game.
Heather has been selected as a semi finalist for the Baby Ruth Ultimate 7th Inning Stretch Guest Conductor contest for the Chicago Cubs!!
The 1st step in the process was to write a statement about why she is a Cub fan. Her essay was 1 of 1000 chosen. So her chances of being picked to continue are now 1 in 5!
-2nd step was a live audition at Wrigley Field. She made the cut from the 1000 to 50.
- 3rd step - a video that was made at the live audition will be on the web at www.cubs.com on July 30th. Each week day starting today through the 8th of August, there will be five videos on the web. Each day a finalist will be chosen by the fans voting.
We are hoping that you all can help Brody's Auntie Heather in two ways.
- First, forward this to everyone you know!
- Second, go to on Wednesday, July 30th and vote for Heather as many times as you can!(Not sure if you can vote more than once)
To be chosen as a semi-finalist is an honor. With everyone's help she hopes that she will be able to continue in the process. She practices every time she is with Brody and Cole (Brody's little Bro) and they would be so proud to see their Auntie Heather sing "their favorite song."
We ask that you help her in achieving this honor.
So, my fine friends....wanna help Broadie's Aunty Hedder achieve her dream? Run, fly...follow your heart to www.cubs.com to help...

Martine, thank you so much for posting this!
Auntie Heather (aka Auntie Hedder, if you're 4 years old) comes to pick the boys up frequently, and she really IS a hard-core Cubs fan - the way many of us are hard-core Martine Locke fans.
I had a hard time finding where I needed to go to cast my vote, so I thought I'd share a more specific link here....

Good luck Aunty Hedder...I'm assuming "root root root for the cubs" has a different meaning in the U.S...
no problems Auntie Hedder and Brodie..it is done! and will be forwarded to lots of aussies...
I got a really nice note from Heather tonight, thanking Martine, the rockstar with a great heart, and all her rockstar friends for participating.
She loved coming to the site, seeing Brody, and reading all your comments.
Here's a quote:
"This is absolutely the coolest thing EVER (aside from actually getting to this phase in the contest)!"
Just wanted to forward the thanks along....
