Hi everyone and welcome! Time is flying ever so fast as we find ourselves quickly racing to the big Extra Life Marathon in November. In fact for most gamers, there is little more then a month left to bring the kids the help we can! It's getting to crunch time!
Now if you don't know what Extra Life is, allow me to explain. Gaming is a massive hobby around the world with gamers taking to their favorite past time on the regular. But what if you could do some good with that controller in your hand? No, I'm not belittling the hobby we all share: in fact we are elevating it with Extra Life. In essence, much as you would sponsor a runner in something like the world-famous Boston Marathon to help them raise money for a cause close to them, we now do the same with gaming. Extra Life is in fact doing just that by letting gamers raise donations for their local children's hospitals to help sick kids in their area. I personally have had the honor of doing this since it began some 15 years ago, and it truly is an amazing experience.
If the idea of playing games to help sick kids sounds good to you now's the time to get involved. Follow the link and sign up! The 24-hour marathon you are looking for donations to play in is on November 4th when we will globally take over the web to show the world what we can do! Of course not all of us can do it on this day... life can get in the way. I myself have family events around the same time which makes my own available time kinda iffy, so I speak as someone who uses the rain-date (the next weekend) every year and will likely do the same this year. This is not an issue since we are still all playing for the same goals: helping these sick kids. So if you need to schedule a little different, don't even give that a second though.
But still, some people are more interested in donating to help these kids rather then play themselves, and that's ok too! I mean, without you we wouldn't be able to do this. And if you wish to help us here at the Red Sector out, let me take this moment to thank who deeply and humbly.. as well as make it a little easier to find. In addition to the link in the pages list of this blog, you can also follow the link below to reach our team page. It's just a few clicks to help us help kids (basically picking which player you want to donate under since we all play for our own local hospitals).
Thank you again for all your help. We are almost there. Lets see what we can do to help these kids out.
