Extra Life in ARR - Naunet - 10-25-2013 Hey, folks! I'd like to attempt to draw your attention for a few minutes to talk to ya'll about a wonderful little thing called Extra Life. Extra Life seeks to raise money for children who need it most doing things that children (and adults!) love to do: play games! Board games, video games, mental games, sports games - the activities don't matter so much as the spirit behind them, and that spirit is one of giving to sick kids in dire need of a little bit of light in their life. From the mouth of Extra Life itself: Quote:Extra Life began in 2008 as a way of honoring a young lady named Victoria Enmon. Tori’s battle against acute lymphoblastic leukemia inspired the Sarcastic Gamer Community in a way that is difficult to describe. Members sent in video games and bought gifts to keep Tori’s spirits up despite numerous hospital stays and three bouts with the deadly disease. We're getting a bit of a late start thanks to some real life busy-ness, but with a week away still, we decided there was still time to do some good ol' fundraising. Our team, the League of (Extra)Ordinary Roleplayers, has chosen our patron hospital as the Texas Children's Hospital. It is a local medical center near and dear to some of our members' hearts and a national leader in medical research and pediatric treatment. Texas Children's has changed the lives of so many kids for the better, and yet it is still heartbreaking that any child must spend time within its walls. It is the least we can do to make their lives, and the lives of their families, even just a little bit happier, a little bit easier. With that said, I make an appeal to those on this forum to consider donating to my page and help me and my team reach our modest goal of $100 (though I would be thrilled if we managed more). Your donations will go directly to Texas Children's Hospital, which is a member of the Children's Miracle Network. To donate, please visit my page and click "Support Me". All donations are tax deductible and guaranteed to go towards a beautiful cause! Alternatively, you can go to the pages for the other members of our team: K R and Amelia P!
