Bloggers Undertake Online Walk In Middle-earth For Charity

Sept. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Today the blog and podcast team at A Casual Stroll to Mordor (CSTM) announced that on September 23rd they will embark on an online journey to raise funds for Child’s Play Charity.

The fellowship of writers will depart from Bag End, and following Frodo’s steps, will walk through Middle-Earth in the game The Lord of the Rings Online™ (LOTRO) by Turbine.

Every donation made to Child’s Play through this event will enable the fellowship to move a bit further along the road. The team's goal is to reach $5,000 in donations and to bring the group to Rivendell.

Supported mainly by the gaming community, Child’s Play’s mission is to give out games and toys to sick children in hospitals. Since 2003, more then 5 million dollars worth of material has been given to children’s hospital playrooms.

"Child's Play was the perfect choice of charity for the CSTM team. It combines two loves we have; children and video games.", says Jamie aka Goldenstar, co-founder CSTM, "Our own child had to spend several weeks in intensive care and we understand the importance in keeping children's spirits up."

"As a child, I suffered 3rd degree burns to the upper area of one of my arms which eventually required hospitilization to repair the damage. I cannot express how much having video games, movies, and toys there at the hospital meant to me." - Dodge, aka Merric, co-founder of CSTM.

The Fellowship’s Walk will begin on Septermber 23rd and will be going on through October 24th.

Live broadcast, special interviews and numerous giveaways await contributors and participants. For more details on the event or make a donation, visit http://www.casualstrolltomordor.com/childsplay or contact us at charity@casualstrolltomordor.com.
