======THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED SINCE ORIGINAL POST, SEE EDIT BELOW======
So as a lot of you may or may not be aware every year in October we have done a live stream to raise money for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation in the past 2 years, So whats happening this year? Well as I am still in the whole, getting used to it stage in my job I really didn't want to commit to completing the stream as I would normal, as I was still getting into the habits and having a better understanding on how the day to day work flow is going to be. Now I am over that and am ready to complete an other Charity stream and this year going to raise money for a different charity. This year I am looking at raising money for Youthline, though this is yet to be fully finalized. If you don't know who or what youthline is I would highly recommend taking a look at their website http://youthline.co.nz But here is a quick snippet from their website Youthline works with people from all walks of life, from all cultures (we even take calls and TXTs direct from the Cook Islands!) and with all sorts of things going on in their lives. This can be anything from just wanting to talk something through (big or small, via TXT, email or phone), to working face to face with a young person or even their whole family. They do so much cool stuff for young people, even I have been able to take advantages of some of their services over the years. Much like last year the goal will be $500 NZD and stream runtime is looking at 24 hours, who knows I might actually be able to do it this year. (high hopes) Also like last year if the goal is reached then I guess I'll do something as well, maybe just the same as last year, who knows, that will be a bridge to cross if / when we get there. Again the first and last (If I make it to the 24 hours) will be streamed to our YouTube channel (youtube.com/theshownz) along site the full 24 hours to be streamed to twitch. (twitch.tv/theshownz) Games. Really for this I am going to go with the flow on this one, though might stay away from overly violent games, maybe ;), keep an eye out for more updates on that tom come. So when is this all going to go down? At this stage looking at 18 - 19 Nov 17 from 12pm - 12pm. Again to be confirmed. Keep an eye on the facebook page and if there is going to be any major updates a new post will be made to this blog. Otherwise Thanks for reading. And DFTBA (Don't Forget To Be Awesome) -DJ ===========================EDIT 06/11============================== So those people following the event on facebook would have noticed that the date has been change and shorted. This is due to that I am not happy with how I am and am not willing to take the risk doing a full 24 hours. So at this stage Stream Date: December 16th 2017 Starting 01:30pm - 01:30am Goal: $250 for Youthline So I am fully halving the stream and the stream goals for this stream. I hope you all understand. -DJ |
