I'm on a mission to trade my dice for items over time for the chance to send a child with a life threatening illness to the Super Bowl. I have been inspired by the "One Red Paperclip" story in which a man traded a paperclip for a house after many trades over a long period of time. I want to use that model to help an ill child to realize his dreams! Please follow along on Twitter @TwoBlueDice

A Recipient has been Chosen
Thanks to the help of the Children's Hospital of Illinois here in Peoria we have selected a child to receive the Super Bowl tickets once they are in hand. I still plan on making it surprise to the child when I give them the tickets so I will not reveal the child at this time, just to make sure it doesn't get leaked in any way. I will say that this child has been through cancer treatment and has last a limb due to the disease. This child loves sports and from what I have been told is a huge Bears fan. Although I have a favorite team of my own, I would love for him to get the chance to see his Bears play this year on the trip.
I will keep everyone up to date more often as I haven't posted anything in a while. I think I am on the verge of another trade in the next week or so, so I will keep everyone up to date as we inch closer to the tickets and making this dream project come true! Thanks for all of the support so far and don't for get to follow along on Twitter @TwoBlueDice. I hope to be back soon with more goo news!
