Wow, what a day! Extra Life Game Day was yesterday, and with the help of some awesome friends, we accomplished something awesome! With the help of my viewers, people at the Southdale mall, family, and friends, we raised over $1900 for Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare! Talk about no small feat!
Speaking of small feats, my Fitbit had a field day yesterday. Check this out!
I almost ran a half marathon yesterday! Just a few more rounds, and I probably would have! Either way, I got home exhausted and without much in the way of a voice. I'm still trying to recover today!
The day was full of fun songs, great interactions with the chat, and an awesome audience at Gamerheadz. Tony was elated that we were able to bring in people to check out the store. He's going to be donating 10% of his sales in the coming days, so our grand total will be higher by the time we're done! We just might breach $2000!
This morning, I received an email for Extra Life. They wanted to let all of us gamers everywhere know just how much awesome we're doing in our communities. We've already surpassed last year's numbers, and with the Extra Life Game Day totals, we're now up to $8.8 Million raised for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals worldwide in 2018. Way to go!
Because I want to make sure that everyone knows I meant what I said, here's the donation showing up on my feed:
I had been meaning to purchase some Steem anyways, so this was a good way to do so. I took the exchange rate for Steem and SBD listed on Busy's wallet page as my point of reference. I have used the Steem to power up my account, and I plan to put that back into the OPG community in the form of more powerful upvotes!
Also, if you wanted to donate but forgot to do so, there's still plenty of time left. Our donation links are good until December 31, so you can still donate. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the @vimm team, including @chiren and @foreveraverage, for their help in making this weekend totally awesome. You guys were a huge help and I really, really appreciate everything you did for me. The signal boost on the front page was a huge help and I look forward to streaming more Dance Dance Extra Life events in the future!
Also, K0LDX and Pacmandu246 aren't on Steemit yet, but they deserve your help on their own streams. Please stop by their channels and follow/subscribe to them. They're good people!

Maybe one of these days I can get them to join us on here! Maybe...
Anyway, I'm gonna sign off, go play some games, and relax today. At this point, I think I've earned it!
Edit: I just got a text from Tony, the owner of Gamerheadz. He's donating another $58, which is gonna put me over $2000! I am now on cloud 9, and will be useless at work for the rest of the day. PARTY!!!
It was an honor having you @ddrfr33k and the team here, the awareness and money raised for children in hospitals was truly inspiring, though the dance moves displayed are more than worth the money. How about you play some ddr for relaxation? ;-)
We'd be more than happy to have you next year as well, can't wait for K0LDX and Pacmandu246 first @vimm stream ;)

Give it time, they'll see just how awesome @vimm is. No, seriously. You guys have gone way above and beyond what any other streaming site has done for DDEL in prior years. I cannot speak highly enough of you guys. Thank you so much!
