A college soccer teammate of mine, Renee Ho, is working really hard via Social Media to get her book, The Friendship Effect, published as part of the Pepsi Refresh Project. She sends me a Facebook reminder every day to vote for her, and because of this, Renee, you’re my Social Media hero.

In the past 2 weeks, Renee’s managed to get herself ranked at #32 our out of thousands of entries. However, it’s only the top #10 that get published… C’mon world, the rest is up to us!

Vote here, it’s easy!

About Renee Ho

Renee is a special ed teacher. In the last 6 years, she taught in Central America and 4 states. She’s written a book on helping the world be a happier, more unified place through friendships and is founding an organization to help Latina women be happy and do what they are passionate about, called Amistad.

About the Friendship Effect

I wish there was more that I could do, but perhaps this little blog will help you get to #30. Anybody and everybody is free to re-post this – hint, hint, wink, wink ;-) Vote today!
