Not sure if I can do this, but nobody online to ask so here goes.

The other week, I watched a Final Fantasy Marathon by these guys, and they were raising money for charity! They even reached $50,000. In 7 days of full on gaming, they reached a goal like that. Now they are doing another for earthday.net, and the series is Megaman.

The Marathon will be 72 hours long, and starts on August 14th @ 6pm CEST, ends August 17th @ 6pm CEST.


The upcoming Megaman Marathon starts August 14th at 6:00PM and will run for 72 hours.

TheSpeedGamers have been streaming video game marathons for over a year to raise money for various charities. In total they have raised over $82,000 dollars and played 12 marathons. They have set the record for longest streamed gaming marathon at 168 hours, and have made multiple news appearances. This marathon will be for Earthday.net. This charity helps to "broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide, and to mobilize it as the most effective vehicle for promoting a healthy, sustainable environment."

During the marathon we will be commentating outside for parts of the marathon, trying to reduce our carbon footprint, and encouraging others to do the same.

We've got some big news, and will have prizes to be won.
