For the past five years or so, I have been participating in
the Extra Life gaming marathon raising money for Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia. Of that time I’ve raised a
fair amount of money (north of $2000).
It saddens me to say that this year I won’t be able to participate.
It just kind of snuck up on me and after running TheChronicles of the Tal Nor Kickstarter, my well of asking for money on the
internet was just about dry. Plus I’ve been having some sleep issues and
throwing in a 24hr gaming marathon probably wouldn’t help matters. Now here we stand,
just five days away from the event and I feel the urge to help.
Luckily, my dear friend David Thoma has step up to the plate
and is not only participating, but his company is matching donations. Please click HERE and donate. All of the money goes to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
For those of you that haven’t heard of Extra Life, it really
is an amazing event. Once a year they
help organize a unique marathon. In most
marathons involve going somewhere and running or biking or some other physical
activity. With Extra Life it’s a gaming
marathon that can be done anywhere with any game that you like. For 8am Saturday to 8am Sunday, those
participating will do nothing but play games for those 24hrs. The first year I did it, I just sat on my
couch and play the heck out of my Xbox.
A number of palace will host people to play. Also some times groups of people will get
together a form teams.
All of the money goes to help fund the care of sick kids at
Children’s hospitals around the country.
These are hospitals that never turn away a child no matter their
parent’s ability to pay. Events like
this are how they are able to do this. When your child is sick, you have enough
to worry about without having to worrying about paying for their care. Please join me and sponsor David Thoma as he
embarks on the Extra Life marathon. http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=165686
As
an added bonus, if you email me at TalNorComics@gmail.com
and tell me that you have donated, I’ll send you a free copy of The Chroniclesof Tal Nor issue 1.
That’s all for now.
Till Next time, keep making things!
