Last year, I played Amnesia and the Walking Dead for 25 hours in order to generate funds for Extra Life. I ended up raising 150% percent of my goal, meaning that my team donated over one thousand dollars to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This was a relatively humble portion of the $50k in funds that Extra Lifers raised for Atlanta alone. These funds went directly to the Sibley Heart Center in Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, which treats over 42-thousand children annually. So, you can say that this cause is good for the heart (in more ways than one).
This year, Goodman and Robyn are back at it with bigger goals and ambitions. Rather than going solo, we are doing a 24hr co-op livestream of Resident Evil 5&6. In order to succeed, we need YOUR help!
Our streams begin at 3pm EST today. Each of us is aiming to raise $600 a piece for Extra Life. As before, this won’t be possible without your help. If you’d like to support us, please consider doing one of the following:
1) DONATE. You know what happened four days ago? Payday. You know what’s happening in two days? Extra Life. The stars have aligned. Treat yo’self, and help some kids, too! Your donations are tax deductible and go straight to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. It’s a safe and responsible way to be charitable. Click “Support Me” to make a donation, or check out our team page for additional info.
2) PARTICIPATE. The entire event will be livestreamed via Twitch, so you can watch Katy and I suffer through Resident Evil 5&6. We’d love to have some new faces join us in the chat room. You can watch either Katy’s or my stream, or, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can inject both streams at once into your eyeballs.
3) SHARE. Sharing my Extra Life profile page helps get the word out. Seriously, even if you can do nothing else, please spread the word. It would mean the world to me.
Every little bit helps. Please do what you can. Your donation–and support–has a direct impact on a wonderful cause. Let’s do this for the kids!
