Washington University pre-med student lives like there is "no day, but today" and wins dream trip to see RENT: The Broadway Tour
Deadly food allergies inspired her to enter contest and win two tickets to see final stage performance


NORFOLK, VA, February 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Meghan Wright, a 22 year-old pre-med student at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. recently entered a contest that changed her life. As a "RENThead," winning the "Viva la Vie Boheme" ForRent.com and "RENT: The Broadway Tour" co-sponsored contest created the perfect opportunity for her to see the final performance of one of her favorite musicals. However; as someone living with deadly food allergies, the contest took on another meaning.

"No day, but today," the recurring theme that inspired RENT: The Broadway Tour cast members to live every day like it's their last, resonated with Wright. Living with deadly food allergies, simply walking past or eating the wrong foods could be harmful to her health. As a RENT fanatic, she entered the contest on a whim.

The contest required her to become a fan of the ForRent.com Facebook fan page and upload photos of her roommate and her living "la vie Boheme" in their apartment for a chance to win tickets to the final performance of "RENT: The Broadway Tour" in Sacramento, Calif. ForRent.com Facebook fan page visitors were encouraged to vote on their favorite photo through the "like" feature. The top five most 'liked' photos, and others, were submitted to the cast of RENT to select a winner. Wright's submission, and the three runners-up, can be viewed on the ForRent.com blog.

ForRent.com, a leading resource for searching apartments nationwide, is the anchor Web site of For Rent Media Solutions , a division of Dominion Enterprises.

"My roommate Mary and I both have deadly food allergies," says Wright. "Eating or even smelling the wrong foods can result in serious allergic reactions for us. Because of that, we really value the 'no day, but today' message. RENT: The Broadway Tour is amazing and has such a positive message. Without the 'Viva la Vie Boheme' contest we might not have been able to see the show that holds such a special meaning for us."

"RENTheads" across the country submitted their most creative photos for the contest. All submissions can be seen in the fan photos section on the ForRent.com Facebook fan page.
