(ContentDesk) March 9, 2004 -- Robert Klick, inventor of the PoKnee and winner of Oprah Winfrey's "The Million Dollar Idea Challenge", makes a repeat appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Wednesday, March 10th.

The auctions opened this past weekend, and bidding will end on March 14th.Proceeds from the auction will be donated to Camp Heartland.

Camp Heartland now operates year-round camping and life enhancement programs for its national community of more than 500 children and teens. In addition, Camp Heartland's Journey of Hope AIDS Awareness program travels to dozens of schools and communities nation-wide every year to share life-saving messages of hope, compassion and prevention with America's youth. Klick won the "Million Dollar Idea Challenge" with his invention, the Po-Knee plush toy for children. Po-Knee is a stuffed horse that rests on the knee of a grown-up. The PoKnee was an instant hit following his appearance on Oprah, and the product has been in high demand since that time.
The Po-Knee is a product borne of Klick's imagination, some duct tape and a pony head from a stick horse. "For thousands of years we have been giving kids pony rides on our knees, I just added the horse," said Klick. Po-Knee is a stuffed horse that sits on and straps to the knee of a grown-up. Children up to 40lbs. then climb on for a ride as the grown-up bounces their knee.
With a squeeze of the ear the Po-Knee comes to life with realistic galloping and neighing sounds.

So why was he in such disparate straits? I asked.Well he explained how he overlooked his telephone bill, and the red reminder so they were going to disconnect it. Then his vehicle has no road tax and the M.O.T ran out over a month ago.
His wife is demanding housekeeping...
