Coming Up: Desert Bus 2018

I wrote a little one of these up last year, but I figured if it's worth doing once, it's worth doing twice, sooooo...Also, to save the trouble of all the explaining over and over of what Desert Bus for Hope is, here's the short version: It is the longest running internet-based fundraiser and supports the Child's Play charity, which helps kids who are in hospital have a better time.Any questions about what Desert Bus for Hope is, feel free to ask! Also, here's a little video explainer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvU3KXtOg8QThis will be my second year working the event as an assistant photographer, and, rather excitingly, Sarah's first year as a site volunteer. Now, overall, this will be a great two weeks for us, but it's also a lot of work that we're both looking forward to.The only thing I'm not exactly looking forward to is the 12+ hours of flying, but they haven't invented teleportation yet, and still, I'm not really sure that I would trust it like that. So, flying it is!It would mean the world to both of us if everyone we knew would come hang out in the chat every now and again, and felt free to make a donation, participate in a giveaway, or even just spreading the word about Desert Bus for Hope. Every little bit helps.If you're wondering when to tune in to possibly see us; I'll be around for most of the day, and into the night time. If you know your DB lore; Alpha Flight through Zeta Shift. Sarah will specifically be working Zeta shift.For now, though, bookmark desertbus.org (and photos.desertbus.org for the photos) and join in the fun when it all starts this Friday, the 9th of November!
