Sick Kids Friends Foundation - Sick Kids Save Point · 7 October 2011 ·

Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity believes no child should face hospital alone. Every day, 500 seriously ill children face a life-changing hospital visit. Children tell us it can be frightening. Parents say they're sick with worry. We want to change this. With your support, we can. Are you in?

Story

<p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Howdy guys!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page for Sick Kids Save Point!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">FAQ</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">So what&rsquo;s this all about, Ash?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">From midday on Friday 7th October until midday Saturday 8th October I'll be taking part in the SKSP 24 hour gaming challenge to raise money for The Sick Kids Friends Foundation, which supplies vital support for children and their families in Edinburgh.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">For more info on SKSP go to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.sickkidssavepoint.org/p/what-is-all-this-for.html">http://www.sickkidssavepoint.org/p/what-is-all-this-for.html</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Okay, so I'm supposed to give you money to play games?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Basically.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">How is this different from any other day?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Well consider a loooong gaming day is about 6/7 hours. That&rsquo;s a very long day in front of a tv. This is four times that. Straight. With no breaks. Consider it hardcore gaming :P</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Well this is all well and good Ash but how can I help?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Donating money is obviously the most basic way. Anything you can give is much appreciated and if you tick the giftaid box it&rsquo;s even better. But 24 hours of solitude will lead to madness so I need people to come and support in person. This means visiting, crashing over, camping, whatever to come and lend your support. I'll be at my Cheshire base of operations so it works better for some than others but anyone who can visit would be a huge help.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Money and friends is it?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Yeah.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Any plans to let us know how the big day goes?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">It&rsquo;s like you took the words from my mouth FAQ person! I&rsquo;m planning on at least hourly updates to the JustGiving page (and sending them to facebook too! There&rsquo;s no escape!) and sending photos through regularly too via the JustGiving iphone app. So lots of words and lots of photos.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Wouldnt the updates let you off the 24 hours of games?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Oh yeah. Well, as long as there&rsquo;s someone with me they are in charge of the writing. Apologies in advance if it lacks the rapier wit you&rsquo;ve come to know and love!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Sounds good to me! Sign me up.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Thanks bro!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">I&rsquo;ll post more updates closer to the time of exactly how I plan on breaking the day up into different games so those of you who want to join in the fun can come and play along too!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Peace and Love</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> </p>
