On Saturday November 2nd, people around the world will participate in Extra Life, a gaming marathon to raise funds worldwide for the Children's Miracle Network. Since its inception in 2008, Extra Life has raised more than $50 million for sick and injured kids.

Our group of five friends will unite to raise funds and awareness for local children's charities by playing a combination of board games and video games for 24 hours straight. To-date, we have raised over $40,000 across eight previous fundraisers ($32,000 of which went to the Children’s Hospital) and this year, we will once again be raising funds directly for the The Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation, a local organization that raises funds to support research, the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment, the development of innovative clinical programs, and the advancement of teaching.

We make a point of keeping an ongoing blog of our experience, so you can follow us along on our journey. Check out our past marathons in the archives section!

For the third year in a row, board game retailer Board Game Bliss in Toronto has generously offered to sponsor our efforts! We also welcomed a new sponsor this year in Asmodee Canada! As a result, every $50 donated will provide a raffle entry toward a board game prize.

If you would like to make a gift in any amount that you feel comfortable with, we would encourage you to do so. Your donation will go a long way towards diagnosing and treating pædiatric illnesses, and ideally helping more children go home from the hospital and enjoy their childhood the ways kids are supposed to.

Thanks again for your support!
