This might be a bit of a shameless plug, but I figured if anyone can get behind mixing gaming and charity, it'd be you fine folks!
On October 25th, I'll be participating in this year's Extra Life Gaming marathon to raise money for the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. Extra Life is a yearly event where thousands of gamers worldwide come together to raise money for their local children’s hospitals by doing what we do best… gaming!
Starting at 8 AM on Oct. 25th, my team mates and I will be gaming for 32 hours non stop to raise money for this great cause. We will also be livestreaming the entire marathon on our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/challengemode, so be sure to tune in and watch the insanity!
Also, to help with the fundraising effort, my team will be accepting video game based challenges in exchange for donations! For example, you could challenge us to the Super Mario Bros One Life challenge from this year's RGU, or to beat a level of MegaMan while blindfolded, or just force us to play the absolute worst games you can think of. We can’t guarantee that we’ll complete each challenge successfully, but it will be hilarious to watch us try!
If you're interested in supporting me and my team, you can find more info on our team page at extra-life.org/team/challengemode. From there, you can pick the team member you want to support, and leave the details of your challenge in the Message field of the donation form.
Every dollar we raise will be going directly to our local children's hospital here in Winnipeg, and all donations are tax deductible.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to share this with anyone you think might find it interesting. Also, if anyone else is planning on participating in Extra Life, feel free to post your donation pages here!
