I got choked up a bit watching the video. Seeing the smile on the child's face in the cancer ward when he's showing the R2D2.

I think the guy deserves a medal or some sort of award for his charity work. Its amazing to know that selfless people like him still exist in our world.

I don't think he's doing it for a medal, or the recognition. Besides, I think he is receiving an award that's more valuable than money.

I have a lot of respect for this guy. To not only find a hobby to be passionate about, but to find a way to use it to make a difference. He doesn't need a medal, karma is on his side. thumb.gif

Agree, I'm old enough to remember Walt Disney sitting down before each episode and explaining the show we were about to watch, all in black & white smile.gif , it was all about children's entertainment, you would hope that the almighty $ hasn't ruined that.
