Sarcastic Gamer is proud to announce Extra Life, a 24 hour gaming

marathon to fund pediatric cancer research and treatment.

We are challenging our community and other gaming communities to band together for something big!  “My life has been permanently changed by kids battling cancer, and I want to do something amazing for them this fall,” says Doc Adams, Founder of Sarcastic Gamer.

On Saturday, October 18 Sarcastic Gamer will challenge gamers to play their favorite video games for 24 hours in order to raise money for one of the planet’s premier pediatric cancer and hematology centers, Texas Children’s Cancer Center (txccc.org).

We’re asking each gamer/hero to find four people to sponsor them at one dollar per hour for the duration.

Be a hero!  In three simple steps you can make the difference in the lives of kids battling cancer!

1. Sign up at http://extralife.sarcasticgamer.com/

2. Ask your friends and family to sponsor you

3. Play video games for 24 hours on October 18
