TheSpeedGamers are going to do a Retro Pokethon at 6 PM CST (7 PM EST, 12 AM UTC). They are going to attempt at catching all the Pokémon from generations I and II for the ALS Association (Lou Gehrig's Disease) (website:
http://www.alsa.org/).
TheSpeedGamers have been streaming video game marathons for over a year to raise money for various charities. In total they have raised over $250,000 dollars and played 21 marathons. They have raised over $57,000 in their week long Mario Marathon, and have made multiple news appearances. This upcoming marathon will be for the ALS Association, which encourages scientific research to find a cure for ALS, heightens awareness of the nature of the disease, stimulates volunteerism and activism, and increases awareness of government leaders to encourage support of research and patient care.
During the marathon we will have multiple contests to win various prizes. Some are contributed by TheSpeedGamers' gracious community members.
Thank you!
