Update #13

The balloon is up! Thanks again to everyone.

More Info

I was mentoring a 6th grader at a local school for about a year.  During summer break he contacted me and said he was diagnosed with cancer. It broke my heart.  And I knew then that I wanted to support that hospital that he went to which is Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, OR.

So in 2011 I started the Game-A-Thon, which is like a jog a thon(but much less sweating).  People really got into it and became a "pledger and/or player".  That first year I played two hours at my work place(Costco) then hurried home and finnished there all to the tune of $527 raised for Doernbecher's.

Mr. Video(the one, and only) video store in Salem, OR got involved on the 3rd year by hosting the whole 24 hours in the store.  We all had so much fun the owner has opened his doors again to host this year as well.

Will you help me reach my goal of $3,000 by becoming a "pledger and/or player"?  

Thank you,  Jon Watts
