I wanted to let you all know on the weekend of April 24 through April 27 I will be streaming MechWarrior Online for 12 hours each day to help raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
If you don't know what Multiple Sclerosis is, check out this link: http://www.nationalm....org/What-is-MS
This charity event is somewhat personal as I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) back in November of 2004. Technically this fund raising event is called WalkMS and I have done the walk here in San Diego in the past. Unfortunately, my ability to walk is no longer what it used to be. Last year I tried something different and decided to raise money while playing MechWarrior Online. Thanks in large part to the MWO community, it was a huge success. My goal was to raise $1500, but that was met before the end of the first day and I ended up raising a little over $4600 when the fund raising was complete. My goal this year is to raise $5000.
Any amount of a donation (tax deductible in the United States. Not sure about other countries) would be great. If you can't make a donation at this time, that's fine, but if you would help me get the word out by sharing the donation and/or Twitch links below with your friends and family, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, don't forget to watch the Twitch stream. The more viewers, the better.
Giveaways:
As certain dollar amounts are raised during the broadcasts, I will be giving out Premium Time codes to a random viewer of the stream. You do not need to make a donation to win a code. Codes will be given out based on total funds raised. So, make sure you have a Twitch account and are logged in.
The dollar amounts raised and the days of Premium Time are:
$1000 - 30 days
$1500 - 7 Days
$2000 - 30 days
$2500 - 7 Days
$3000 - 30 days
$3500 - 7 Days
$4000 - 30 days
$4500 - 7 Days
$5000 - 30 days
In addition to the Premium Time codes, when my fund raising goal of $5000 is met, I will give one random Twitch viewer their choice of the New Reinforcement mechs (up to $30 USD value). You can find the list of available mechs at http://www.mwomercs.com/gifts under New Reinforcements. Yes, if you win, you will be able to choose more than one mech as long as the combined total does not exceed $30 USD.
Update: PGI has donated a Resistance Wrath Pack and an UrbanMech Collectors Pack to the cause! So, sometime on Saturday between 9 AM and 9 PM Pacific I will randomly choose one viewer to win the UrbanMech Collectors Pack. Then, on Sunday sometime between 9 AM and 9 PM Pacific I will randomly choose one viewer to win the Resistance Wrath Pack. Good luck!
Update 2: Twitch viewer Awesomepawsume and all around awesome person has donated five New Reinforcement codes to the cause! The Timber Wolf A, two Locust 3Vs, and two Griffin 2Ns. I will be giving these out to random Twitch viewers on Monday sometime between 9 AM and 9 PM Pacific. Thanks again Awesomepawsume.
Streaming schedule:
April 24 through April 27 from 9 AM Pacific to 9 PM Pacific (that's GMT -7)

). You kept up with par with last year, as in you hit $1500 by the end of the first day. Almost a third of the way there. Not too shaaaabbyy!
