I also like games like DCUO, Mortal Kombat, RE5, Red Dead Redemption, GTA4, Burnout Paradise, and Mod Nation Racers. This past October, I gamed for 24 hours straight to help raise money for Extra Life, a charity for pediatric cancer. It was a great experience as the gaming community raised over a million dollars this past year. Here’s an article I wrote about my experience for HomeStation Magazine: http://www.hsmagazine.net/2011/11/my-extra-life-experience/ […]

It is good to see that even though people attempt to coerce you into making a remark you remain true to yourself

Even those of us that have health problems, when we band together we can unite for such causes as Extra Life.
TY Oli for reading and for your comments :D

There is no sickness in our virtual world (health wise). I do know a few people that have health battles in real life, but while in Home they enjoy perfect health. But we should never forget that behind every avatar is a real person and as a real person, we can make differences and changes in real life. Using our numbers collectively gives us greater power to make changes. Extra Life is a perfect example of how we can do that, and do it right! I truly hope that we can find others ways to apply our numbers to the betterment of not only our virtual world but the real world.

Actually, if you couldn’t stay up all night, there was make-up days so you didn’t have to finish by a certain time, all based on the honor system :D
Maybe next year you can help too :D

I very much enjoyed reading about your time playing 24 hours. I am really proud of you.. You’re a very giving person as you stated. Now, I am at a young age and I can’t really stay up late nor play all day, without the complaining of my brother wanting to play CoD or my mother bothering me about getting up and taking a break. If I was older I would of definitely done this event. Once again, I am super proud of you Trish and I am glad we’re becoming friends.

I’m glad you liked it. I hope it inspires people to find ways to help such causes. Extra Life is still taking donations. Over the past 4 years, Extra Life has now raised over $1.85 million and this may be the year they reach $2 million. They are still taking donations and every dollar still counts. ^__^

Yes, it is always sad to hear of such tragedies. I think one of the positives is how these loses can motivate us to all do our part to fight these diseases in hopes of saving the lives of children like those mentioned.

Special thanks to Terra for interweaving the inspiring letter from Tori Jo’s mother, Jo Ellen Enmon, throughout the article. It was perfect!

I am proud of you and of all the other participants in this worth cause. I knew a family very well who went through this kind of ordeal with their daughter. She was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, a virulent bone and soft tissue cancer, at the age of 13.
Lauren was a real trooper, she never complained and like Victoria, she always believed that she would survive. She fought for 5 years with more courage than anyone I have ever known, before she lost her battle 3 days after graduating from high school at age 18.
Children who contract serious illnesses are much more resilient than their adult counterparts, and giving back like this honors that courage. Wonderful article and I commend everyone who had a part in it.
