This just in from GoNintendo, seems some Sonic fans are playing through Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 in a 24 hour marathon to raise donation money for Haiti. This event was organized by A Challenger Approaches! Charity Speed Runs, in the interest of raising at least $25 for the organization. At the moment, they are up to $8.15. You can check out their speed run below. The link you need to click to donate is under it. I will personally be donating some money later tonight
Regrettably, it doesn’t appear that we can embed UStream into this news post. You can find the live stream here. You can also join a live chat that can be seen alongside the window.
To donate, A Challenger Approaches! has provided this link and “ChipIn”. You will need a Pay Pal account to donate.

Im from Chile too.
No body cares about us.
No love for Chile. I think Haiti’s gotten enough money.
Comparing Chile’s quake to Haiti’s quake is like comparing getting hit with 20 Rings to getting hit with none.

Clever 😀
While I like the idea of helping Haiti, speed running through SA1 and 2 to raise money is a little stupid.
Inferno – why? Does it really matter how the money is raised?
I’m with Fly Boy. This way they are appealing to a video game audience, trying to get them involved.
@ Inferno
The most important thing is that they raised money. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
They do video game speedruns for charities all the time.
What XD375 said. I mean look at The Speed Gamers, they’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars doing speed runs of video games!
This is cool. Nice to see people helping other people in need. =)
…Anyone notice the link to this article?

Well, in my town we have the Global Council there’s 13 people in the global council and I’m one of them and we gave Haiti over 1500 $ and we gave other organisations money too. So I’ve alredy helped some people in haiti out and I have nearly no money right now. But I’m glad that bein a sonic fan can help people out. =)

OMG! I do notice that it says it’s 4 breast cancer. However, either cause would be helpful and resonable.
