I don't normally post things like this, but a good friend of mine asked if I could help raise money for this. Please read the email that I copied from my inbox. I have known Mike (I deleted his last name for obvious reasons) for about 13 years- since Jr. High. He said it's the perfect fundraiser- he gets to play video games and help cancer patients and research.
If you can help, please do. I appreciate it.
Thanks!

Dear Lissa,
On Saturday, October 18th, 2008, I will be be participating in Extra Life: a 24-hour gaming marathon to fund pediatric cancer research and treatment. This event is a SarcasticGamer.com community charity event.
The money raised, every penny of it, will go directly to benefit pediatric cancer treatment and research at Texas Children’s Cancer Center at Texas Children’s Hospital. Texas Children's is one of the largest pediatric cancer and hematology centers in the world, and sees kids from all 50 states and over 80 countries. Every child gets the same ground-breaking treatment, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
Cancer kills a classroom full of kids every day worldwide. It takes kids from all walks of life, and respects no borders. Cancer doesn’t care about ethnicity or religion. It doesn’t care if a child is from privilege or poverty.
To learn more about this event, visit the Extra Life web site. I also invite you to visit my fundraising page: http://waystogive.texaschildrens.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=210&srcid=211&erid=40802&frsid=361Click here to visit my Web page.
Each gamer has a set goal to get at least 4 people to sponsor us for just $1/hour for 24 hours. I ask you to consider making a gift to help me achieve this goal. I want this year to be a tremendous success and we need your help to achieve it. I will gratefully accept any donation you are able to make, big or small. All donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you for your consideration in making a contribution to support the Texas Children's Cancer Center. Your donation is a part of great things to come.
Sincerely,
Mike C.
