Neil’s challenge

One of our participants Neil Gow, whose son had spent 5 days at the Sick Kids recently, has set himself some extra challenges for his marathon, according to his blog..  Apparently he’s unearthed a list of the worst games ever, and he’s looking for people to donate to put him through ordeals such as ‘Garden Simulator’..
‘a list of truly awful abominations of game design that will test my gaming ability and sanity over the course of the 24 hours.’ Neil tells us.  Go check out his blog, and donate to put him through hell via his Just Giving page...

Personal challenges

So you’ve set up your Virgin Fundraising page. You’ve sent out that chain email begging for sponsorship. You’ve read our tips and safety guidelines…
What now? Well, it’s still a little early to plan what you’ll be playing during your marathon, so here’s a couple of ideas for personal challenges to set yourself for the time being:
*Tell at least three friends, colleagues or family members about Sick Kids Save Point *Get 5 people to sponsor you on your page before the 31st May
*Get the grumpiest, most disapproving of video games type person you can think of to sponsor you. That’s a tough one!!
* Talk someone you know into taking part so you won’t be playing alone come August…
