Child's Play

So theres something i want to talk about here. It is not WoW related (for the most part) but it is important to me and if i can get the message out anyway i can, thats good enough for me.

It is getting very close to November.

As some of you may know, there is a charity called Childs Play, founded by authors Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of the popular web-comic Penny Arcade.
The charity drives each year to donate money, toys, movies, video games, and anything a kid may enjoy to Hospitals all around the world so the kids there can have something to do when their down in the dumps and stuck at a hospital for weeks on end. A spare movie or even an Xbox really helps out. (from personal experience, i can tell you i know this EXACT feeling.) I have been very ill with an Auto-immune Disorder since i was in the early 6th grade and have spent countless weeks in hospitals in agonizing pain and anxiousness. With nothing to do there, it was always the worst experience ive been through. But, when i got to play the video games set up there on the wheel-around cart, or got to watch Star Wars using one of the VCRs in the hospital, it got to be not as bad, and i had something to kill the time. Child's Play has collected and sent over $6 Million dollars worth of video games, systems, movies, and toys to countless hospitals around the world to aid in this effort. If you have time, please check it out at childsplaycharity.org You can donate any amount of money possible, or even find a specific hospital on the map and donate a toy to the hospital through Amazon.com through the Charity's website.
again, the site can be found at www.childsplaycharity.org
Thank you for reading this post,
