Dragons and Dragonettes,

As was the case last year, I am a registered participant in Extra Life, a charity event put on by gamers to support and raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals.

In other words: I’m on a mission to save kids through video games, and I need your help.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta treats thousands of children each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, injuries from accidents, and nasty ailments like viral meningitis to name just a few. My own daughters have benefited immensely from the care provided by the Stollery; they might not be around today but for that hospital.

On or about Oct. 20th, 2012, I’ll attempt to play an epic 24 hour video game marathon and it’s my sincere hope that you’ll find it in your heart to support me with a monthly pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to the Stollery hospital.

Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids.

Last year, Extra Life raised more than 1.2 million dollars to save kids, but in 2012 our goals, just like the needs of the kids we serve, are much, much higher.

I can’t do this without your help. Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please click the “Support This Participant” button on this page. And for each donation received, I’ve got a video of something amusing, funny, strange, or informative about Ultima 6 queued up and ready to publish.

Thank you for caring for our kids, and thank you in advance for your support!
