Forums » Smalltalk » Extra-life charity drive!

Back in 2011, I joined th Extra-life campaign when I first started streaming games. I raised $125 for my local Children's Hospital and this year I wanted to join it again. I hope to raise $300 for my local Children's Hospital, but I can't do it alone. I've been posting this on all the social media sites that I am on, which is only like three, and been trying to gather as many people to spread the word as possible, or even donate [but you don't have to if you don't want to!]as I can. I would really appreciate it if people did try to spread the word on their own social media, places like twitter, tumblr or facebook, or even their other blogging sites.

On Oct the 25th at 8 am CST, I'll be staying up for 24 hr's to play videogames for charity. I'll also be streaming live over at my twitch. I have several game lists which you can find located on the twitch, and on a raptr account. I have a ps3, wiiu and a Xbox 360 and I will TOTALLY take requests on games to play. It'll end somewhere around 8am on the 26th, probably a little later. I take care of my mother full time, so there will be many times where I get up for random periods of time to help her out, that can't be helped, but I'll try to make up the lost time. I stream commonly so that won't be much of an issue. My extra life page is here and once again, if anyone can, could you spread this on your social media? A combined voice will get this out way better than just me constantly reposting it.

Thank you for your time.

Just one more day and I am still trying to rally to get people to spread the word on their social media. Thank you everyone who already has made posts about it, talked about it or even donated. You've done something special for me and you have my love for it.

15 and a half hours until I start, totally not important update, but I would definitely appreciate it if anyone could boos this on their social media sites. I should be live around 7:30 am CST and probably will be trying to decide on what to play by time 8 rolls around.
Good luck! :) I donated a little bit and the thank you video made me cry. Someone else go donate so I don't have to be the only one! XD

Do you have Hyrule Warriors? You should play that, it's super fun :D

IT WAS YOU. I sent you like two emails [one over fb.]. OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. I do have Hyrule Warriors and I DO plan to stream that. It's probably going to be the first one I stream.

I'll likely stick with Hyrule Warriors, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon Age and GTA 5, maybe.. I have 300+ games between all three systems, I am sure I can find something to play.

I have just 8 hours left. I will see everyone in the morning, make a quick post about it and link to my fund page again which now allows you to watch my stream direcctly on it, though if you wanted to chat with me, you would have to go to the actual twitch channel. The twitch channel has a link to a games list for Xbox and Ps3, if you have games you want to see, mention it to me in my twitch chat, since i'll be mostly streaming, I wont have time to go to alternate pages+mass post stuff.

See you guys then! Thank you again for the support.
