I'm on a mission to save kids and I need your help. Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. They treat thousands of children each year, from all over the region, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis and injuries from accidents to name a few. They know how important play is both as a healing tool and how necessary it is to get kids back to playing as soon as possible and that's why I've chosen to represent them in this year's Extra Life.
On November 2nd, 2013, I'll be participating in this huge worldwide celebration of the social impact of gamers of all kinds! It is my sincere hope that you'll find it in your heart to support my efforts with a tax-deductible monthly pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to CHKD.
Last year, Extra Life raised more than 2 million dollars to save kids, but in 2013 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher. I'm 29 years old and I want to raise 2,900 dollars for CHKD, a hundred dollars for every healthy year of my life. It is an ambitious goal and I really can't do this without your help.
I'll be taking the 25 hour marathon gaming session head on. 25 hours of moving to the right, jumping, and descending into madness and I want to do it all right before your eyes.
You'll be able to tune in live on November 2nd (and 9 hours on the 3rd) and check on my progress at http://www.twitch.tv/200ponies. I'm hard at work creating gifts for random donors and stream viewers and you can also request games you'd like to see played. (Fine print: I may not be able to take every request! Feel free to contact me beforehand and we can see if it is a possibility.)
In the coming weeks leading up to the big day I'll be posting photos of the raffle prizes, game requests and other information here.
Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please go here
Thanks again for helping to make a difference.
