This is Desert Bus.

The poor bastards over at LoadingReadyRun started their third annual Desert Bus for Hope Fundraiser a couple hours ago, where they play Desert Bus non-stop for days to raise money for the Child’s Play charity. They raised over $70,000 for the children’s hospital charity last year, and hope to break $100,000 this year.

They’re off to a good start: They broke the $10,000 mark before the first hour was up (which came with a stipulation of the first guy having to drive the bus for 12 straight hours), they’ve got at least 4 days of driving ahead of them, and it’ll probably be more than that by the time it’s over.

So if you’ve got a little extra money, give it to these guys… 1) Who doesn’t love Schadenfreude? 2) It’s for the children.

Please think of the children.
