To Robert, Mike and Jerry.

I'd just like to say thanks. Every year I get excited about the Child's Play and I've never been able to participate. Now that I have a job I am even more excited because I have a chance to donate this year and not just spread the word to anyone who will listen.

When I was in my teen years I spent a good amount of time in Children's Hospital and ended up staying there for weeks at a time. It was a very intimidating experiance for me having just turned 12. I often found myself with nothing to do but worry. I would bring video games from home, or if I was lucky enough I'd get to use the video game cart they would drag around. I passed most of the time with Mario Kart 64 of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

I always used them later in the evening when most of the kids where already asleep, but one day woke up with a hankering for some racing. I found out there was a long waiting list for use of the cart, I was surprised to find out they only had 1.

I know what it's like to be in the hospital, and if you don't have anything to keep you occupied it can be a scary experiance. I never had it too bad, but from a former patient's perspective this charity is one of the best and most meaningful events of the holiday season.

So thanks guys.

With love and more love (especially for you Khoo ;) )

P.S. If you guys have any need for anything down in San Diego I'd be more then willing to donate my time for the charity. You can return my Email or message me on the forums.
