Extra Life 2015 - Charity event
Hello friends old and new!
I am once again going to be playing video games for 24 hours for charity this year. The charity is called Extra Life, and every penny that I raise goes to support the Children's Miracle Network. I know this a community is big-hearted (although a bit crusty!), and I wanted to make sure everyone know about the event and had a chance to either donate or participate. If you are interested in playing games to support sick kids, and getting a free pass from your wife\s.o.\gf for playing said games, head over to What Is Extra Life? | Extra Life to learn more. If you aren't ready to play FOF7 for 24 hours, or play a marathon game of Arkham Horror with all of the expansions with your friends, feel free to give up one day of starbucks this week and donate to me. Extra Life | Play Games. Heal Kids. Thanks for listening, and for your generosity. |

Wow, we are at 24%! Only $3825 to go to reach our $5k goal! I'm posting this because the heart of FOFC has been beating for a long time, and it is a place filled with good people. No donation is too small! Please give if you can!

One thing I can't process well is sick kids. I just don't like the unfairness of it. We do all we can to ease the suffering of our kids, but when something happens, we feel powerless.
That is why I'm going to game for 24 hours next Saturday. Im Trying to raise $5000 for Children's Medical Center in Dallas, to do a tiny bit to help out when kids do get sick. All I need is a few dollars from you or your friends. Would you please consider donating? I'm happy with anything you can spare. Extra Life | Play Games. Heal Kids. |
