$186 Raised on Extra Life Weekend 2026!!

 Drum Roll Please

*Drum roll sounds*

The Chouinard Family has raised $186 during Extra Life weekend! 


Want to see what we did?!

Here you go!


Lots of variety...actually no, not really. It's mostly space and zombies. Suprisingly no zombies in space, though.

What isnt on here was Shavonne's adventure with Gaiscioch in WoW Forever. It was fun. That was 2 hours on Sunday night. 


This photo is thanks to Varder in Gaiscioch. 


Our goal is $251 for Extra Life. There is still time to donate! Help us reach our goal! Here is that doantion link: https://dd.extra-life.org/participant/thechouinardfamily

Can't donate right now? That's ok. Share this link! Help us spread the word! And Thanks for just stopping by and hanign out with us!

See you next year!





Not Quite Wrap Up Time Just yet

 

So Brett and Aidyn ended up falling asleep shortly after my last post. With three hours to go, will our heroes make it?


Yes, yes they will because our heroes understand that they are not as young as they used to be and quests tend to take a bit longer now. So with that foreknowledge our heroes have also taken off today, too.

While our elderly party leader still sleeps, the rest of us are starting our morning training. I, as our scribe, is tending to the blog. Our energetic bard has been up since like 6 am singing and laughing. And our subborn knight must tend to his studies before enbarking on the journey. Also, our magicless wizard couldn't get off school, so he'll be back later. 

The rest of  Team Gaiscioch has finished thier Extralife 24 hours and are just a little short of our goal.

So what does that mean? Well, if you donate to us it goes to the team total as well and we still may reach that $2500 goal! 
Oh! You want that donate link again? Well, of course! Here you go! 


Thank you so much for your support this year. Every donation, every blog read, and every stream watched helps of reach our goal. We understand that not everyone is in a postition to donate which is why we appreciate you spreading the word to those that might be in a better postition to help! 

We call ourselves heroes for particitaing in this charity event, but honestly, YOU are the real heroes! Thank you so much!

The End is Nigh!

Well, we have almost hit our 24 hours goal and had a ton of fun doing it! I'm am old and am falling asleep. Brett and Aidyn are still playing some weird zombie game, but I'm out. We'll get you a recap tomorrow! Thanks for hanging out with us! 

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

 Sorry, no monster trucks here, but we do have another fun filled day of Extra Life!

Aidyn is starting strong with a schedule and everything! That's awesome!

Brett and Fen are just playing whatever seems fun at the moment. They are currently playing Forever Skies.  

I havent checked on Gaiscioch, but I dont think they start for a few more hours being West Coast and all. 

So we are officially halfway! Congrats to everyone! 

But, you know who the real winners are? The Kids! Every cent you donate goes directly to the Children's Miracle Hospitals and our specific Hospital is Geisinger Janet Weis in Danville PA. They serve a huge area and it is really rural, so we want to make sure all those kids who dont live next to a big city also have access to the care they need without driving forever!

Well, keep checking back in with us and we'll keep providing updates! 

As always, please donate! Here is our link: https://dd.extra-life.org/participants/thechouinardfamily

Also a photo! 

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Busy busy bees!

So, we have been busy!

And when we are busy, I don't get a chance to update the blog.

Brett, Fen, and I played some Valheim. I died to a boar. Then I died to a greydwarf. And just for things to be a bit different, I died to stupid bees. I dont know how many times I died because I lost count. It sucked, but we did play for 6 hours. So here is a SS of the phallic map I wandered in Valheim. Enjoy.
