Mario Marathons For Child’s Play 2009 - Starts July 10th
This was my favorite marathons from last year, and probably the only one that I watched. This year they promise to be better then ever; more prizes better quality video, and more important a larger financial goal to reach. Last year Mario Marathons made an amazing $11,767 dollars, and I hope this year they double that. I know times are tough, so if you can only give a dollar give that, any little amount helps.
We will send out reminders through out the week for this event, and post up the live stream when it starts. Press release after the jump.
