Charity Speedrunning

A hobby I'm passionate about is speedrunning, the act of completing video-games as fast as possible. It's given me success in self-improvement, meeting new people, and even contributing to charity. In 2019, I volunteered as an event organizer for the annual online speedrunning charity marathon dubbed LEGOthon, benefiting St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. I was responsible for scheduling, moderation, commentary, performing, and more. The event spanned over 4 days, 12 hours each, and was broadcasted to 50+ viewers on average. Our initial donation goal for the marathon was $100.00, but our efforts were successful enough in raising $671.00! LEGOthon remains an annual marathon to this day and I'm grateful to have contributed to its success.
