  • Originally set to $20,000, the group unexpectedly reached their goal within the first five days of the marathon and subsequently set it to $50,000. More than 2,000 donors collaborated with the effort. A game feed was hosted on their site alongside a commentary feed and a chatroom. The group was able to complete the first nine games of the series before Friday 24th; Final Fantasy XI was played that day by an honorary participant, "Nobody X", who has a form of Autism, a mental disorder with much social stigma. She began streaming on the Friday morning via an extra feed showing her progress throughout the game. Executive Director of Act Today!, Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson said, "The accomplishment of the young gamers is so impressive, and is a testament to the power of the younger generation when they put their considerable talents behind a cause". "Our goal for this marathon was $20,000. I thought there was a good chance we could get there, but I never thought $40,000. But, it all just fell together really well," says Britt LaRivere, founder of TheSpeedGamers.
