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>So I've been gaming for too many years to even stop and contemplate just now. A few months ago I found out a friend had participated in Sick Kids Save Point last year; this was the first I had heard of a specific charity for the Edinburgh Children's Hospital. However, playing games and earning money for charity seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. So here I am.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The more I think about the idea, the more 24 hours non stop gaming seems a little daunting. BUT, and it's a big but, it seems more and more appropriate that I should undertake this. Reaching a certain age (no sniggering in the back), I find everyone seems to be having kids. My friends' newborn has unfortunately already attended the Sick Kids and I am just back from seeing friends in Canada and their 2nd small.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it is time for me to earn a little more than gamerpoints and trophies when I play games.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
