Last year my husband was the captain of a team that raised well over $35,000 for sick children around the world. They raised the money by playing video games for 24 hours straight.
This year, my husband and his friends and all the rest of the team are hoping to raise $50,000 during this 24 hour period and it looks like they can actually do it.
Think about this:
11 (or 12) twenty-somethings sitting at a bright blue table in my cold cinder block walled basement lined with their own computers playing with and playing against each other while live-streaming their games to raise money so that sick kids in Children's Miracle Network hospitals around the world might have some respite during their hospital stays. Rock it, boys. Rock it.
Bob and a few friends are trying to scramble to get our basement together and prepared for Saturday -- last night they were clearing the space of our (my) clutter, and running electricity to have extra lights downstairs. Tonight they run Cat 5 cable so that, well, I don't exactly know what it's for, but it's something computer related ;) Perhaps to get everyone on the Internet. idk.
I honestly couldn't be more proud of or excited for my husband. It's wonderful to be married to a man who cares so deeply for others, and that these others are sick children. I love this about him. It's awesome.
Please consider donating, even the smallest amount, for these darling sick children. They could use some laughs and some fun. Will you help them with that? Click the badge below.
Blessings! so much jOy!
