Made a trailer for the marathon, so feel free to tweet the video, link it on your youtube channel or upload it to your channel to spread the word, I'll be making the video public as soon as flyingfox gets the charity sorted. For now it's unlisted. http://youtu.be/ms5ZyGTDd7Q

Child's play? Seriously? No.
-
Seriously? Yep!
-
Oh look at all these unprivileged children in poor countries that won't have the new CoD or Fifa to play during their hospital visit... They've only gathered $25 million so far because they only have like 50 big events aimed at them every year.

It's not like the money could be used in better ways like actual treatment in poorer countries. Or to educate people. Or literally anything else.

I'll take responsibility for a small part of the charity switch, as when flying fox said she was struggling to get in touch with the charity, many of the marathon players said they wouldn't mind doing the marathon for fun without any charity involved at all. This sounds noble on the surface, but the audience will interpret this as "shameless publicity stunt with no goodwill" (and I have a small suspicion that some of the runners are using the marathon this way anyway). I pointed out that Child's Play leaves itself open to any and all donations by publicly posting its PayPal address in an attempt to have a charity involved at all.
That said, after poking around in our widget from last year, I found that ImRaising does list last year's PayPal address as a charity account that we can still use. Even if we can't get in touch with the American Cancer Society, we could theoretically still donate to them. Ultimately, this is flying fox's decision, although I'm sure she wouldn't mind hearing from you guys. I know I'd prefer a marathon for cancer over one for in-hospital comfort, but I do think the latter is a worthy cause if the situation forces us to do that.
On a related note, the biting sarcasm directed at flying fox is getting really old really fast. I've heard too many stories about how upset she's getting with the current crowd for its attitude and inability to do things in a timely manner, and some of the stories make me want to coldcock certain individuals. The lot of you are going to be representatives of TSC for a large audience and are going to be trying to convince people to donate to a good cause. I will take action as head administrator if the former is fucked up, and while I can't take action on the latter, I think the audience reaction will take care of things if the latter is fucked up. I don't like how all of my posts lately are for disciplinary reasons, so hopefully everything from here out goes without a hitch. :)

I only went with child's play because we were getting too close to the deadline and I was panicking that we couldn't get a charity in time. For personal reasons I would like to go for a cancer charity, so if this is possible we can try and do it.
-
I just want to say that nothing in my above was aimed at anyone. I was merely very surprised to see that in SB's video it seemed like the charity had already been chosen without as much as a community vote on these forums by the participants or even a heads up. Add to the fact that I don't like CP as a charity and I might have come off as a bit rude. Sorry about that.
-
Probably not too late to chase down that Jsonicguy dude either. Even if you choose not to donate to his charity, he might know something to help you get in touch with ACS.
-
I'll do my run either way and I'd be surprised if people cared but I am +1 in favor of donating to ACS again regardless of whether or not we can get in touch with them.
-
We changed the charity back to ACS last night. I should've told you sooner, but when it was done I was very tired and haven't been around online at all since now. Sorry about that >_<

Well since not all TSC people are on IRC but do look at the forums. Whoever has twitter please RT this thanks. https://twitter.com/TheSonicCenter/status/499660922806222849 (https://twitter.com/TheSonicCenter/status/499660922806222849)
