Extra Life: Play Games, Heal Kids
I have quite a backlog on stuff to update about, but this goes before everything else.
This is kind of important, so if you have some time to spare, please read
Nikki is participating in Extra Life as part of Team Limit Break Radio, the FFXI Podcast Network we’re hosts at. Extra Life is a 24-hour gaming marathon set up by the Sarcastic Gamer community. It is a 24 hour game playing event, taking place on October 18th [This coming Saturday] in order to raise money, as well as awareness, for pediatric cancer. It’s similar to a walk-a-thon in that you find sponsors to donate money for each mile that you participate; however, in this instance, you’re donating money for hours of game play — Online or offline. Sponsorships can be as little as one dollar per hour and all money goes toward the Texas Children’s Hospital, and is completely tax deductible in the US.
This is her page: http://waystogive.texaschildrens.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=210&srcid=211&frsid=1149
She’s aiming for 5 sponsors. Please take this in consideration and sponsor her; I will be accompanying her in 24-hours of Final Fantasy XI (we may actually get our levels up, WOO!!) to make sure she doesn’t die too much
(I kid. She’s a very capable Warrior
). You can go for a per/hour donation or just a set amount. Her gamer name is “Nikki Wright”.
In addition: For every dollar you raise this weekend (between now and Monday morning at 5am), Electronic Arts (www.ea.com) will match your donation amount in the form of free games for the kids at Texas Children’s Cancer Center… up to $2000 dollars!
My friend Nate Bender aka Aniero from the Limit Break Radio FFXI podcast, has even gone as far as to get the entire town of Mt. Pleasant to step up for the cause!
Thanks for your time, I hope you can help out, whether by helping out those kids through Nikki, or by becoming a participant yourself.
