Hello MechWarriors,

On April 21 through April 23 I will be streaming MechWarrior Online for 12 hours each day to help raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for a third year in a row.

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.

So, back in April of 2014 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 (9th highest fund raiser in San Diego).

Last year was not quite as successful, but, once again thanks to the MWO comunnity, I was one of the top 20 WalkMS fund raisers in San Diego. This year I have set a modest goal to raise $2500 and with the help of this awesome community I will hopefully reach that goal.

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.

Streaming schedule:
April 21 through April 23 from 9 AM Pacific to 9 PM Pacific (that's GMT -8)

Thank you in advance,
Tim "Gimpy" Beaudoin

P.S. If you want to keep me company or do a drop or two with me, I will be on the No Guts No Galaxy TeamSpeak server (voip01.n1585.hypernia.net:9992 password = mechwarrior) the whole time. Just use Control F to find Gimpy.

Just wanted to make a quick post to say Thank You to everyone who came out to support the fund raising event and to everyone who made a donation either with cash or prizes to give away.

So far, $2558 has been raised (my goal was $2500). If you missed out on donating, you can still make a donation at www.StompingOutMS.org

Thanks again for the awesome support. This is an amazing community.
