This weekend, all around the US, gamers will be participating in Extra Life. Extra Life is a 24-hour gaming marathon to fund pediatric cancer research and treatment. Many of our gamers here on Justin.tv will be participating, like Swiftor, Chingy1337, Brokendesign and even Justin.tv’s own Tia Marie. They will all be pitching in this weekend to broadcast for the charity!

You can even participate yourself! Just head over to the Texas Children’s Hospital’s website and create a login. Then you can join an existing team, like GameOn, or create your own. All proceeds go directly to the Texas Children’s Hospital.

Don’t forget to check out Gaming.justin.tv this weekend to catch the action or sign up yourself to broadcast! Don’t forget, if you can’t participate you can always donate.
