Every year, a number of organizations - personal, private, or professional - will run fundraiser drives for the benefit of Child's Play, a charity focused on helping children in hospitals get better through the power of books, toys, and games, to help speed and ease their time in hospitals.

Minecraft Marathon is a livestream, which is supporting the Child's Play Charity, and will be running from February 22nd at noon PST (20:00 GMT) to February 24th at 5PM PST (1:00 GMT).  Besides the joy of helping out children, there are plenty of reasons to check out the Minecraft Marathon this year!  Donors will be able to hang out on a special server, which will see surprise visits from a number of notable Minecraft personalities!  In addition, there will be many special guests attending, such as Captain Sparklez, AntVenom, and CavemanFilms, just to name a handful.

What about prizes?  There will also be an auction for a really awesome J!NX goodies package, MCProHosting, Mojang-signed goodies from Minecon 2012, and much more!  Want a breakdown?  Here it is!

When:
  • Friday, February 22nd through the 24th

Where:

See you there!

They should all play a giant FFA with soooooooo many people. I'd like to see that. Maybe a large Hunger Games too. Just ideas.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Charity = epic
Giant Minecraft Thing = cool
Busy Weekend = sadness

Hope the event gets supported well :)
When Life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. You could get mad and make Life take the lemons back, or demand to see Life's manager, or burn Life's house down with the combustible lemons your engineers developed. But don't. Make Diamonds. MANY MUCH DIAMONDS!!!!! I AM DAZZLED BY MY LEMON-DIAMONDS!!!! DIAMONDS 4EVER!!!!!!!!!

Being Australian can really suck sometimes. I miss lots of live streams that I want to watch of. D:
I hope everything goes well!

"Budder" isn't funny. It's overused, annoying and MUST stop.
