Pink for Tink: 20-year old video game boys support Trish’s fight against breast cancer.
My intent was just to let a few of our gamer friends know that we would be playing sporadically, and to get a few well-wishes from our close associates. Boy were we both in for a surprise. By mid-day the number of responses from people was over a two hundred, with a thousand views. The tone was supportive and caring, not what one would expect from the hardcore gamer demographic.
This is an incredibly story of hope and solidarity found surprisingly in an PvP game. Warhammer Online folks (from both sides!) came together and ran around in pink armor to support a fellow player who had recently found out that she had a tough battle with breast cancer ahead of her.
