As cancer claimed the lives of three of my grandparents I am motivated to support the AGDQ charity efforts any way I can.

AGDQ 2014 <http://tasvideos.org/GamesDoneQuick/AGDQ2014.html> raised more than $1 million in donations and my hope is to raise $25k during our TASBot block alone today sometime after 8:00 PM EST <https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule> (~5 PM PST; the schedule may slip a bit).  You can watch all week at: http://gamesdonequick.com
