ruslan74 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just so you know. "Xbox received an email recently from the Reach for a dream foundation to fulfil a wish . Keagan Gillepsie aged 10 whom suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Stage 2. A progressive disease that affects muscular development. Keagan underwent surgery recently to help straighten his spine, shortly after the operation he fell, shattering both of his legs. Keagan informed Reach for a dream that he was a massive Halo fan even having never played a Halo game before. Keagan wanted nothing more than to have a Halo party with Master Chief. Microsoft rose to the occasion to make Kegan’s 10th Birthday one to remember, the entire day was a complete surprise! Xbox gave Kegan a 250 gig Xbox console, Halo Reach collector’s edition, Halo 4 and Forza Horizon. Reach for a dream purchased a series of Halo toys, movies and books." http://youtu.be/Qnp1ijPFSZU (Anybody can help in embedding the video in this post please?)

Dog Face Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 A little disappointed in Microsoft here. They had an opportunity to do so much more for this kid here and failed. Don't get me wrong, that's a decent gift but nothing memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunduz Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nice gesture from Microsoft. Shattering your legs sounds slightly painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BEAst in I Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 An Xbox and some games? They could have went all out Halo for this kid. They did live-action stuff for a web series. Could have sent them... Or at least Master Chief. Or sent the Warthog from New Zealand as someone to drive it dressed and Master Chief and rode around with him. Edit: Games he won't even be able [or have a difficult time playing.] I guess he could watch someone play them. Or just be thankful someone cared enough to send it. I still think Microsoft could have done so much more though. From my understanding all he will be able to do is games and computers, but that's based off of 5 minutes on google. Still a very nice gesture. They could of really outdone themselves and given him the Halo 4 limited edition console, but a 250 gb slim is still very nice.

The BEAst in I Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Was nice for sure... but they could have had someone show up in a costume for the kid. Did you not watch the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlevoHD Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Was nice for sure... but they could have had someone show up in a costume for the kid. Make sure he knew his Halo stuff for when the kid asked questions too! Did you not watch the video? ^^What KillerBEA said. That guy holding the Xbox box really looks like a dude in a Halo costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethiebeefy Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 That's real nice of Microsoft. But I feel sorry for the kid, No one deserves to be in position this kid is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbaLaBamba Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I know someone who suffers from SMA, it really is an awful thing to have, it's a real shame. But it's nice to know that there is still some good in the world, well done Microsoft for doing something for him! Sure he's going to really enjoy playing Halo now.

Don't get me wrong, that's a decent gift but nothing memorable. Master chief was at the party... I'm sorry but if master chief was at my party... I'd be stoked.

DecadentBeaver Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Whilst Dog Face may think its nothing special, that 10 year old kid must have thought all his birthdays had come at once. Awesome move by Microsoft. Gotta respect them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayonTarget Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 That's cool. I'm glad they are doing that. What? That was awesome of them. They did a great thing... I think he means that they just gave him an xbox and a couple games. They could have gone above and beyond and proven themselves as not just a bunch of money gobbling monkeys.
