The TMNT Visiting Kids With Cancer


Say what you will about Peppercom. Sending the Turtles to hospitals to visit kids with cancer is certainly a worthy endevour. Thanks to the folks behind the TMNT25 campaign, this is totally happening. Click the Pic to go to the TMNT 25 Blog Post about it.

Our Gotham Galabunga keeps getting closer and we’re totally stoked to take NYC by storm.

We are really excited about one bodacious thing we’re doing while we’re shell-ebrating this summer and that is visiting some awesome kids at hospitals around the country.

We’re able to do this because of our rad friends over at Kids Cancer Connection. These guys do some really amazing things to fight cancer and to help kids who are already putting up a fierce battle against it. They also do some pretty cool things to help the families of cancer patients which is so important! As someone with three brothers, I know a little bit about the power of family!

So, with their help, we’re gonna be making stops at hospitals across the country and giving high-fives to the bravest dudes and dudettes around. Our first visit will be in New York City when we arrive Turtle-style in our Party Bus on Thursday!

The TMNT will also be visiting schools across the country in collaboration with After School All Stars. About the charity:

Provides comprehensive after school programs that are fun for kids and also keep them safe and help them achieve success in school and life.

Prepares middle school kids for high school, college, and the 21st century by offering academic support, enrichment opportunities, and health/fitness activites.

Serves 70,000 youth annually through after school and summer programs in 13 cities across the country.

Has created a model after school program for middle-school kids that can be replicated anywhere across the country.

TurtleDoc Update: TMNT Cast Interviews

179_2057

Hi everyone! Tonight I am blogging on behalf of myself, Isaac, and the rest of the TurtleDoc Crew. Today…for me…was the perfect day. Isaac, Myself, and his crew spent the entire day at the Beverly Hills Eastman estate to interview practically the entire original voice cast of the 90’s Turtles cartoon (Plus Brian Tochi, the voice of Leonardo from the films!)

I arrived at the house at about 11 am (WITH DONUTS!). When I arrived, Brian Tochi (Leonardo – Films) and Barry Gordon (Donatello) were already there with Isaac and Crew. Rob Paulsen (Raphael) soon arrived.

While Brian was getting solo interviewed, I stole Rob and Barry away to our Greenroom. Townsend Coleman (Mikey) soon joined us…They were all so happy! Some of them not having seen each other in a great many years!

Over the course of a couple hours, everyone else showed up…most of whom felt as if this was a reunion for which they were very grateful for. Soon Renae Jacobs (April), Pat Fraley (Krang), and James Avery (Shredder) joined our party!

While a wonderful group interview was being conducted… Kevin Eastman Snuck in the door. Who said he could come to our party…at his house… 😛

There was a fantastic vibe from the whole thing, and even the members of the crew who weren’t turtle fans at the beginning of the day, were bleeding green by the end! Toward the end of the day, Peter Renaday (Splinter) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo) dropped by to have their say as well!

All in all, a fantastic day for not only myself, but for the voice cast and the TurtleDoc team as well! I don’t think any of us will ever forget this day! The TurtleDoc is coming, folks…And you’re going to be blown away!

Special thanks for this post go out to Isaac, Mark, Randal, Curtis, and Ashley! Go Green Machine!
