As I type this, a small group of dedicated gamers is playing a marathon of Mario games nonstop. Why are they doing this? To benefit the Child’s Play charity. Child’s Play provides toys, games and books to sick kids in children’s hospitals worldwide.
The more donations they receive the more levels they play. The gang has played through all the classic Mario games, and is currently chewing through one of the newer Mario titles, Super Mario Galaxy. So far they have raised over $26,000 and I hope they reach their final goal of $156,611.19.
A hospital is a terribly scary place to be for anyone, let alone a child. Help make a sick kid’s hospitalization a little more bearable by donating to Child’s Play during the Mario Marathon or any time of the year. Please give, because it truly does make a difference.
