Want to WIN an iPad? Follow this guy!

Want to win the latest gadget from Apple--an iPad?

And help out a great cause to boot?

Then all you have to do is follow W. Brett Wilson on Twitter ( @WBrettWilson )--one of the most respected businessmen, and most generous philanthropists in Canada. And the fire-breathing Dragon with a Heart on the hit CBC TV show, Dragons' Den...

So here's how his Twitter Contest works:

Brett is already planning on donating $2,500 to the Military Families Fund, and wants to donate more! For every follower over 7,500 (who were following before the contest began), he will donate an additional $1.00... His goal is to reach 10,000 to 15,000 followers BEFORE April 26th (when the draw for the iPad will be held). To learn more, check out his website: www.wbrettwilson.ca

And as an added bonus, he's challenged Kevin O'Leary (of Dragons' Den & SharkTank) to match him in followers--and leaving Kevin in the dust, I might add... ;)

So to help him out with his goal AND have a chance at winning a brand new iPad, all you have to do is follow W.Brett Wilson on Twitter...

NOTE: Any follower (regardless of country) can win the iPad.

Good Luck!
