This is my sixth year fundraising for this incredible charity and I'm so very proud to be even a small part of the life changing work they do! Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me and here's to many more years!

Taking a moment to decompress and reflect on Extra Life 2017. I realized I never really explained why this charity is so important to me, so if you'll indulge me, I have a little story to tell...

I was a sick kid for a large part of my childhood. I was in and out of hospitals and doctors offices for years for everything from surgeries to asthma to chronic bronchitis. I still have a huge scar down the center of my chest from a surgery I had very early into my young life. Beyond that I thought of all my family and friends who have spent more times around their kids hospital bed than they have around a dinner table. Living in a hospital is boring at best, and soul crushing at worst. Knowing that Extra Life donates every penny earned to making the lives of the kids a little brighter, a little more fun, a little more normal really connected with me. I would have given anything as a kid to get 20 minutes with a Nintendo if it meant I didn't have to stare at the same white walls and daytime television for a while. Give me an opportunity to help give a kid the comforts I never had? I'm in!

"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty!"

Here's how it works

Extra Life is a 24-hour fundraising and gaming marathon to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

On Game Day (Nov. 3rd), I will join the thousands of gamers and dedicate an entire day to play games and get donations from friends like YOU!

100% of the donations go to my local hospital. TOGETHER we will make a difference for sick kids!

Your donation is tax-deductible and will make miracles happen for families who desperately need them. You can click the "Donate" button at the top of this page to make a safe and easy online donation.
