PostECHC Save Point - Bonus Level - £10,000 raised!

Hello, it's been a while since I took part in one of these, but the Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity (formerly the Sick Kids Friends Foundation) are running a 'bonus level' Save Point gaming marathon over the weekend of 5th - 7th June.

I know a good few folk from here have been carrying on taking part, so I thought it would be good to try and drum up some interest again and get the forum represented as the good and kindhearted bunch that we are :)

There's an option to do either 12 or 24 hours, but in terms of the rules, that's really the only change.

So, who's up for taking part? It'll be an excuse to play games for even longer than I'd imagine a lot of us are doing already, and you'll get to raise money for a fantastic cause at the same time.

Here's a link to my page if anyone would like to donate.

And here's the link to the their registration page for anyone who wants to sign up

I saw this last week and am going to take part in it, but haven’t set up my page yet. I’ll chuck some cash into yours now as well mate. :D

Depending on what the lockdown rules are by that point in June, I may be playing 24 hours of Zelda with an NHS doctor. If not, I’ll be flying solo and am open to suggestions on what to play.

Nice, I'm going to consider actually taking part in this as I am currently not working mondays so will have some recovery time!

Ah, thanks Cora, that's very good of you :)

Great to have you both on board!

I don't think I'll be following a particular theme or anything like that. Might get the boy to build a special Mario course for the occasion though, he's been churning them out at a hell of a pace recently.

I've been trying to think of some games to play for ours.

Animal Crossing and Super Mario Maker 2 will be definites, but after finding out that Minecraft Dungeons is on Gamepass, that's now on the list. Might be time to introduce the children to Streets of Rage too... :)

Anyone else up for taking part?

One week to go!

Planning has been going...slowly. But I'm definitely adding 51 Worldwide Games on the Switch to the schedule, it looks absolutely *perfect*.

Any new sign ups? What's everyone else planning on playing?

Anyone starting their marathon today?

I've got 51 Worldwide Games downloaded now, and I'm trying to work on A Thing for Animal Crossing, but I can see the rest of the day just being what everyone else is in the mood for playing (cue 12 hours of Mario Kart 8...).

I ended up not being able to set up my page in time for it to be worthwhile, but I’ve shoved some spare cash into your fundraiser and may try a 12 hour bad game session tomorrow in sympathy.

Thanks Cora! That's really kind :wub: Have crossed the £300 mark now!

All being well, we'll probably kick off about 8 tomorrow morning. I'll be putting screenshots and that on Twitter, so will share them here too.

Would it be ok to have this archived, please?

Always nice having a wee record of when we've taken part in Save Point :)
