Hey everyone, we're at this again!


I'm on a mission to save kids through video games, and I need your help.

Many of you may already know that I have a soft spot (a hole, even!) in my heart for sick kids. This is one of the ways I like to give back to the same kind of places that helped me and my family when I was young.

Extra Life was founded in memory of Victoria Enmon, who was battling with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The Sarcastic Gamer Community donated money, video games, and other gifts to keep Tori’s spirits up despite numerous hospital stays and three bouts with the deadly disease.

Sadly, Tori lost her fight in January of 2008. Sarcastic Gamer then founded the Extra Life program, and it has been an annual event that I have participated in since.

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals treat thousands of children each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.

This may sound silly, but here is the deal; Much like other fundraising events for illnesses, I will be doing something potentially unrelated to raise money for a cause. On November 5, 2022, I'll attempt to play an epic 24 hour video game marathon with the other members of my team. Okay, maybe it will be two 12 hour days. I'm getting older! 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 University of Iowa Children's Hospital.

This year has been extra crazy and this has just snuck up on me, but I'm still hoping we can do some good fundraising!

Remember, your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to help kids.

Last year, Extra Life raised over 14 million dollars to save kids! It was a privilege to be a part of that. This year, I want to do EVEN BETTER!

I can't do this without your help. Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please click the "Donate" button at the top of this page.

Thank you for caring for our kids!
