I was recently contacted by a reader who had a very special favor to ask. His daughter Marissa was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. This is a very rare pediatric condition that as of right now has no cure. Since it's so rare it really doesn't get much attention either which as a father I imagine is very frustrating.
In an effort to raise awareness and hopefully find a cure he has created a site called Marrisasbunny. This site catalogs the adventures of three stuffed bunnies as they travel the world spreading awareness of the disease. Marissa's Dad Mike asked if one of the bunnies could attend PAX and I said absolutely.
The bunny should be arriving here at the office in the next day or two. We'll be giving him an all access pass and taking pictures as he makes his way around the show. You'll probably see him on stage during some of the concerts and panels. So if you see a bunny in the lan room during your TF tournament or making his way through the exhibition hall, now you'll know what it's about.
