Many World of Warcraft players are familiar with Ezra Chatterton, the 10-year-old who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and who was given the opportunity through the Make-A-Wish Foundation to tour Blizzard's studio in Irvine, California and to design some of his own custom content for the game. Blizzard recently announced that his father has set up a charity foundation to accept donations to help cover medical expenses.

In partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Blizzard recently welcomed Ezra Chatterton, a 10-year-old who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, into our headquarters for a day and gave him several unique opportunities. We have been touched by the outpouring of support from the World of Warcraft community, and wanted to take this opportunity to let players know that Ezra's father Micah is setting up a charity foundation to help pay some of the medical costs. Those interested can contact him at ephoenix@earthlink.net. You can also make a donation to the American Cancer Society to support ongoing cancer research.
