Podcast on Fire will “Play Games. Heal Kids.”

Podcast on Fire have joined Sarcastic Gamers annual “Extra Life” charity effort.  We’re raising money and awareness for my local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, Royal Hospital for Sick Children. On October 16th, 2010 I’ll attempt to play video games for 24-hours straight, and I’ve asked you to come by in hopes that you’ll support me by giving just $1.00 per hour ($24 total) (Stoo Note; That’s £15, but being honest, I would happily except donations of £2.40). Your donation is tax-deductible and 100% of your gift goes to help heal sick kids, here in Edinburgh.

This Fall, my fellow Extra Life gamers are going to make miracles happen for kids. I can’t do that without your support. My goal is to raise $240.00. On that date I do hope to have a live feed running on the website so you can watch my progress and send messages of encouragement, fuck, I might even get online and record a podcast with Ken during! Although I WILL NOT take the Webcam to the bath room when I play Planets vs. Zombies on the iPhone.

You can Support my Team through this link, you can Donate now OR on the day!
