MonsterVine Will Game For Extra-Life

I wanted to take the time and let you all know that a few members from our staff (William Saw, Trevor Stamp, Zack Mok, and our freelancer Austin Adamson) will participate in the Extra-Life charity event on Saturday, October 15. Extra-Life is a charity event where gamers around the world participate in a 24 hour gaming marathon, raising money for Children’s Hospitals and the Children’s Miracle Network ( who makes sure all of the Children’s Hospitals receive the donations). It’s a wonderful charity event, and something I believe that many gamers should get behind, as it is a fun way to raise money for a great cause.

I discovered Extra-Life last year and instantly fell in love with the concept. I thought to myself, ” well I love to play video games, and I would love to play video games for a great cause, so why not?” Of course, playing video games for 24 hours straight is not the only reason why I decided to participate this year.

A few weeks after I was born, I was taken to the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles for a rare bone marrow deficiency they found in me. It was something that terrified my mother, but thankfully, the doctors were able to cure it, and I was able to go on with the rest of my life and sit here now and discover such a wonderful event. The Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles holds a special place in my heart for what they did for me, and I feel very lucky and proud to participate in an event where I can do something I love and for a place that saved my life.

We will need your help during this event. I have started a MonsterVine team ( that is open to anyone who wants to participate in the event, and wants to join a team), and we have a goal of $500, which we are cloae to breaking, but that does not mean we won’t work hard to raise more money. MonsterVine asks you if you could donate to any one of our members participating with whatever money that you can. You can either donate directly to us at one of the links that I will provide at the end of this post, or write a check to the address I’ll provide at the end. Of course if you personally know one of us, you can donate hard cash. If you decide to donate via check or cash, please let me know so that way I can keep track of who donates. I will provide my email at the end of this post so that you could let me know if you would like to donate with check or cash.

I also want to let you know that we plan on livestreaming the event, so that you see what games we are playing, or even jump into multiplayer matches with us. We would love to share this experience with you, the readers, as we build our relationship with the community. Think of it as a way of us getting to know one another, and more importantly, raise money for Children’s Hospitals around the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you could join us this weekend as we game to raise money for Children’s Hospitals around the world.
