Charity!

So on October 15th, starting at 8:00 am, fueled by water, caffeine and my dad's Chili, my wife Jenn and I will be taking part in a 24 hr marathon to support the Children's Miracle Network, and more specifically the Stollery Children's Hospital.

Those of you that know me at all know that I am a big fan of video games. However, I rarely play for more than 2-3 hours at a stretch. 24 hours is going to be a huuuuge challenge for me, physically and mentally, but at the same time, it will be a lot of fun, and a great way to do what I love, while helping sick kids.

I'm going to do my best to follow the spirit of the marathon and try for a straight 24 hour gaming marathon, but it might need to be interupted slightly in between. Regardless, I will absolutely do 24 hours between Friday, October 14th and Sunday October 16th. Totally for the kids.

I will try to take infrequent breaks to update the blog during the marathon, and will also tweet/facebook as well. Only during loading screens or cutscenes of course.

If you want to donate (and you totally should) you can goto www.extra-life.org/participant/davidplamondon

Help me reach my goal of $250!!
