"First off, I would like to thank the folks at Pixar Post for giving me this opportunity. Secondly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this post.
My name is Will Kelley and I run a Disney Infinity Podcast. You may be asking yourself "why is Will here on Pixar Post, talking to us about a video game?" Well the answer is simple -- Kids. You see, every year the Children's Miracle Network puts on a marathon to help kids and Children's Hospitals across the world. Extra Life is a 25-hour video game marathon, where people from all over the world play video games in support of a Children's Hospital of their choosing. This year we have put together a team and we will be playing Disney Infinity for 25 continuous hours. We thought “what better way to support kids, than by being one ourselves?"
Each of us has chosen our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital where thousands of children are treated each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents, to name just a few. On November 2nd, 2013, we'll be a part of a huge international celebration of the social impact of gamers with Extra Life, and it's our sincere hope that you'll find it in your heart to support us.
We have garnered support from members of Disney Interactive and Avalanche, the ones responsible for Disney Infinity. During the marathon we will be live streaming the entire event. We will be giving away exclusive items to those that can participate, and what is even more exciting, we are lucky to have a few developers from Avalanche joining us. We will be hosting Fan/Developer play sessions, so that fans can meet and play with those responsible for their favorite game.
It is my sincere hope that you can take the time to participate or donate. If you are interested, please take a moment to visit our Extra Life page at www.insidedisneyinfinity.com/ExtraLife Your donation is tax deductible and is for a great cause. We can't do this alone and need all the help we can get. Thank you."
