Our 5th Annual Extra Life Fundraising Campaign Begins!

For the 5th year in a row, we’re running an Extra Life fundraiser in support of the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals. They are a network of 170 hospitals that provide 32 million treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada. To-date, we’ve raised over $7,000 for the cause and we’re looking to raise even more towards a worthy cause!

If that’s all the convincing you need to support the cause, head over to my donation page and contribute whatever you’re able to spare. But if you’d like to learn more about the cause or follow along with all of my initiatives to support Extra Life this year, read on!

Together, We Raised $2,000 for Extra Life!

 

Our 4th annual Extra Life fundraising campaign is complete! With your help, we raised $2,000 USD for the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals this year! Since we began fundraising with Extra Life in 2018, we’ve raised $6,820 USD for this incredibly important cause. Can’t even wrap my head around what we’ve been able to achieve to-date and what we’ll achieve in the future!

This is gonna be a short post cause I’m still recovering from the 24-hour gaming marathon, but I wanted to share a few more shoutouts:

  • Thank you to everyone who made a donation. You’re the real MVPs!
  • Thank you to executive producer Steff who helped out with all of the behind-the-scenes stuff, as well as taking centre stage for multiple segments of the show!
  • Thank you to my family and friends who participated in this year’s show, whether you were on mic or just playing games with us. Sharing this experience with you makes the marathon so much better!
  • Thank you to Extra Life Toronto and Raw Fury for providing many in the community with game codes to give away as part of the festivities! Congratulations to everyone that won!
  • Thank you to anyone who has watched the marathon stream and any of the mini-event streams leading up to Game Day.
  • Thank you to everyone who liked and shared any of my content relating to this campaign. You’re helping to raise awareness and inspiring others to join this movement.

I won’t be closing the door on the 2021 campaign quite yet. Hoping to share my thoughts on this year’s campaign in at least one more post. There are many Extra Life rewards I need to prepare and mail off to donors. Also, I have lots of video from the event to edit and share. For now though, I’m gonna get back to recovering from this year’s campaign. Thank you again for everything! Enjoy the week ahead!

And if you’d still like to make a donation, it’s not too late! Link below!

Our Extra Life 24-hour gaming marathon begins tomorrow!

One more sleep!

Tomorrow at 9am EST, my friends, family, and I will embark on a 24-hour Extra Life marathon! We’re fundraising in support of the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals by playing games, eating snacks, opening packs of Pokemon cards, and more!

You can watch the show here: twitch.tv/inthirdperson

The schedule may change once game day occurs, but below is the tentative itinerary. Feel free to drop by at any time. Make sure to say hello to us in the chat!

When you make a donation during the show (donation link here), we’ll fire my trusty money gun in your honour! Better yet, if you donate at one of the three reward tiers, you’ll be eligible to receive spray paint art prints, a signed Pokemon card, and a thank you note from me!

Even your Twitch channel points can make a difference! If you cash in for the Poke Flute and manage to score a Shiny Jett, not only will I do the rest of the marathon in a Snorlax onesie, I’ll also make a $100 donation in your honour AND I’ll send you all of the rewards! If you manage to pull off this feat, send me your mailing address in a Twitch whisper and I’ll hook you up!


Game On!

Can’t wait to get this show on the road! We’ll see you tomorrow and I thank you in advance for your support of the Children’s Miracle Network of Hospitals!
