So, with Sick Kids Save Point fast approaching, how ready are you for a video games marathon in 2 weeks? Here’s a wee checklist to help you work it out:
1. Have you set up your Just Giving page? Its very quick, just follow THIS LINK.
Remember to personalise it, people respond better to personal stories, and photos! You’d be surprised how many pages still have a pair of trainers as their avatar..
2. Are you following us on twitter and facebook? You must keep everyone informed during your marathon by posting on our facebook page, tweeting using the #sksp hashtag, or if you’re live streaming or vlogging let us know the url and we’ll post them all on this site. We need to know you’re still up, and what you’re playing.
3. Have you worked out where and when you’re playing? If you’re playing at home, does whoever you live with know the TV will be out of action for 24 hours? If you’re playing with others have you worked out whose house? If you’re going to Twitch Gaming, have you let them know? Also work out what time you want to start – An early start means you’ll be going to bed in the morning and may mess up your internal clock, but an evening start means you’re looking at 36 hours or so awake!
4. Have you asked your closest friends and family to sponsor you? In the last 2 years most of our sponsorship came from non-gamers. Part of the point of Sick Kids Save Point is to improve the image of our hobby, and now’s your chance to show that some good can be done by playing games. Tell them about the charity, and why you’re doing it. Getting sponsored isn’t as hard as you think, but you do need to ASK PEOPLE to sponsor you, otherwise it’ll all be for nothing.
Good Luck! We can’t wait to follow the carnage online…
