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>Hi there!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>When I heard about the Sick Kids Save Point gaming marathon, raising money for the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, I couldn't help but sign up for the opportunity to get involved in. I will be journeying back in time to replay some of the games that I remember fondly from when I was younger, in particular the original Grand Theft Auto as it is without a doubt my favourite game from my youth. In addition I'll be streaming some Kinect and retro games online. You can see the full plan of action <a href="http://develion.co.uk/article/2011/10/06/schedule-for-my-sksp-gaming-marathon/">HERE</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be playing from Sat 8th October at 10am to Sun 9th 10am and will be posting updates on twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/develion">@develion</a>). Not only that but to add a little "spice" to things, I'm going create videos, stream and much more... depending on how much I can raise!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;50</strong>: I&rsquo;ll do a write-up of the day&rsquo;s exploits</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;75</strong>: Create a montage video for Youtube &amp; Game Trailers</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;100</strong>: Streaming live to the interwebs at set times</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;125</strong>: Expanded montage with a mini video diary</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;150</strong>: I&rsquo;ll take requests of god awful games and stream playing them! *</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;175</strong>: Video diary over the coming weeks in the build up to the the day.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>&pound;200:</strong> Video footage of me making a prat out of myself on the Kinect.</span></li> <li><strong>&pound;300:</strong> Should I manage to raise a whopping &pound;300 I will actually dress up as a ninja and record some footage of playing Fruit Ninja Kinect&hellip; then put it up on Youtube for people&rsquo;s amusement!</li> </ul> <ul> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As you can guess, I am quite fond of Fruit Ninja Kinect. So much so that I happen to have a key that will be raffled! So if you donate, have a Kinect and fancy a copy... let me know and I'll put your name in the hat. :)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> </ul> <p>I've put further details about my plans <a href="http://develion.co.uk/gaming-for-charity-sick-kids-save-point/">HERE</a> on my site if you are interested!</p>
