October 18th Sarcastic Gamer is spearheading a gaming marathon event (Extra Life). For 24 hours straight they along with many other gaming communities including GHR will being playing games to raise money for the Texas Children’s Hospital. Taken from their site:

“On Saturday October 18th, 2008 gamers from around the world will come together for 24 hours to raise money and awareness for the cause of pediatric cancer. Cancer is the number one cause of non-accidental death in children. Together, we’re going to stand with the families from around the world who come to Texas Children’s Cancer Center in Houston, Texas for lifesaving treatment. Texas Children’s Cancer Center serves kids worldwide regardless of their family’s ability to pay. This generous philosophy means that your support is crucial to ensuring not only the development of new cutting edge cures, but also to provide care to kids from all corners of the globe.

Be a hero by simply doing something you love! Play games. Heal kids.”
