Website: halomarathon.net
Other: Watch us play games and help us raise money for Child’s Play Charity. A charity that collects money so that children in hospitals can have books, toys, and video games to make them feel as comfortable as they can.

We are going to be playing through each Halo game’s story mode from start to finish. There will always be a controller in somebody’s hand at all times and somebody will be monitoring chat so that you can feel as involved as we are!

The idea came from a group of guys who started their own marathon to raise money. They played through each Mario Game, and were very successful. We hope to do the same with out Halo marathon, as we all share a passion for gaming and would like to give back to the community and show that gamers can give back!

We HIGHLY encourage you to get involved in the chat room, we will be reading and interacting with our viewers the whole time and would like to make this a great experience for YOU, the audience.
