We raised juuust about $6,000 for Children's Miracle Network hospitals by playing a 36 hour gaming marathon back in October.
I had no trouble completing the 36 hours - in fact, I had a stack of single player games that I never even got to. I spent most of my time playing Settlers of Catan, Mario Party 7, Guitar Hero, Clubhouse Games, and Karaoke Revolution. This is the last marathon I'm running for a while at least (although I recently volunteered to be the Events Coordinator of GT's MediaTech club... don't know what kind of trouble that will land me in) but man was it a great time and I can't wait to play again next year.
Here are a few of my favorite pics from the event (check out more of em here -
