Heartwarming to say the least.
Reminds me of a TV programme we used to have here in the UK in the 80's and early 90's called "Jim'll Fix It" - very similar in children/young adults with disabilities, problems etc being given the opportunity to have their wish come true. And companies/people/communities would be willing to help where possible (be it the RAF, Navy, Government even the Royalty). And it made wonderful viewing to see the reactions on theior faces as they were given their wish. Which is exactly how I could see Emily's face during her tour.
So my hat goes off to everyone at ArenaNet - just shows in this day and age, there are still shining lights who will do this kind of thing.

hmm but this does explain why I couldn't find their building on google street view.

I love how they turned an act of good faith into a GW2 promotion.
"They convened a group of their eight senior designers and Emily, and they asked Emily to help them design an "Event" for the game. If you want to see it, buy Guild Wars 2 when it comes out, but I can tell you that Emily came up with an idea they really liked."

Blades, are you under the impression that ArenaNet wrote that blog entry? This was done by Emily's family. I didn't hear about this story from ArenaNet. It was passed along to me and I decided to post and let the community know about it. ArenaNet hasn't advertised, spoken about or otherwise mentioned this good deed they did in any official capacity.
Please people, don't try to read more into it then what it was.
