It’s NEVER Fun to be sick and have to stay inside or go to a Hospital but most of us will soon be well again and can go out and Play with our Friends :) BUT sadly some kids have serious illnesses that threaten their lives and for some of them Club Penguin in Kelowna had a special Party to get them a chance to have FUN TOGETHER :)
Club Penguin offers day of normalcy for kids with life-threatening illnesses
Club Penguin, the Kelowna-based children’s website, teamed up with Canuck Place Hospice Wednesday to bring a day of fun for kids with life-threatening illnesses.
Most of the kids have been living with the illnesses from a very young age; many have spent months in Vancouver living at the hospice.
Laura Fielding, a therapeutic recreation coordinator with Canuck Place, says they want the kids to know that they're not alone.
Fielding says the field trip at Club Penguin gives the kids an opportunity to meet other kids like them and build a sense of community.
The children got the chance to test Club Penguin board games, video games and not-yet-released games.
The group also got to meet the infamous “Billy Bob”, who is also known as Lane Merrifield, a Club Penguin co-founder. Global Winnipeg

…THANKS Club Penguin for helping these kids, their Siblings and Parents to forget about their Problems for one Day :)
