Desert Bus raises $132,584 for Child's Play

After five days and 16 hours, the Desert Bus for Hope charity event was able to raise $132,584.94 for Child's Play, nearly doubling what the group raised last year. In a statement on the event's website, the group said:

With minds completely boggled by your generosity, we have all gone home to sleep and try to recover from the utter awesomeness of the past several days. We're so very grateful to all our sponsors, donators, viewers and everyone who helped out by calling in, bringing food (and caffeine), stopping by to visit and generally making Desert Bus the huge success it has been.

This was a triumph.

We am very very appoint.

We love you all, and we look forward to continuing to hear from you via twitter, the loadingreadyrun.com and Escapist Magazine forums, and right here at desertbus.org.
