Please Crush this site (while donating to cancer research)

Hi all,

I created this site along with my brother. We're supporting our friend who is currently attempting to raise $100,000 for cancer research as part of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society's Man/Woman of the Year contest.

The contest is drawing to a close soon, so I figured, why not see if HN can take down the site with traffic and donate to a good cause while we're at it?

Brief technical background: It's a simple .NET MVC5 site hosted on Azure with some (hopefully enough) caching in place. Not making use of Azure's CDN service yet but hoping that caching a good deal of the response saves on some costs.

We trust you'll send traffic in good faith (please let me be right about that; the site isn't free to run.)

If for some reason the site truly is crushed, we'd still surely appreciate a donation -- the official URL is: http://www.mwoy.org/pages/nyc/nyc15/DonateNow?fundraiserPage...
