Child's Play website

For those who haven't heard of it, Child's Play is a charity started by the webcomic Penny Arcade. They give video games and toys to children's hospitals, to lift the spirits of sick kids. This is their third year running and they've now expanded to include hospitals in Canada and the UK.

I cannot read the testimonials in their letters section without bawling like a baby. I think about my friend Jeremy in the cancer ward, playing StarFox on Snes, and the one doctor who would take time after his rounds to play him in Street Fighter 2.
