Well, this year’s Marathon has come and gone…

Hello again everybody,

Well, it’s Monday afternoon, and I think I have finally recovered from a lack of sleep and overdose of board games this past weekend. So, just a quick update about the Gamers for Cures 24 Hour Board Game Marathon to benefit the Turner Syndrome Society of the US, which was held this past Saturday (and into Sunday) November 7th, 2015. Dan (Geekjock) will have a more formal writeup about the event soon, with lists of prize winners, the exact amount raised, so many thank yous, etc.

The two big highlights are:

First off, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you to so many people and organizations for donating time, money, products, services, the list goes on and on. Whether you were a participant, volunteer, sponsor, donator, we could not have done any of it without you.

Secondly, earlier today, Dan announced on Twitter that with your help we raised $20,000 about $22,000! Wow. That is well beyond our wildest dreams. We had a goal of $17,500. This is just mind numbing.

That’s it for now, look for Dan’s writeup soon!

-Adam
