Desert Bus for Hope 2015 has concluded and raised more money than last year

Desert Bus for Hope 2015 has concluded and raised more money than last year
Matt Davis
November 23, 2015

If you haven’t heard by now about Desert Bus for Hope it is actually a charity fund-raising marathon that started in 2007 and gradually grew in donations each year. The charity was the idea of a internet comedy sketch group called “LoadingReadyRun” and it combines video games with fundraising for Child’s Play Charity.

The game Desert Bus is actually from a non-released CD game ‘Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors’ that requires the player to drive a 8 hour long road between Tucson, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. Is not as simple as driving a bus on the highway because the game was programmed to have alignment issues and all sorts of unreliable features that will only make the player crash the bus. Once the player derails from the road, he is immediately sent back to Tucson where he has to start from scratch.

The game is highly annoying and considered one of the worst games ever created but a smart group of people have made a good cause out of it. Each year the is live streamed and as long as the players keep on playing and the viewers keep on giving challenges and donating, Desert Bus for Hope goes on. Just yesterday this years run has ended and raised $677,188 in 159 hours of non stop playing.

Ever since 2007 Desert Bus for Hope has raised more attention and continuously beat its last year’s donations. The Desert Bus organization assures that all the money goes directly to Child’s Play Charity which is dedicated to improve the lives of children who are currently undergoing treatments in various hospitals by giving them toys and games.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .
