Shot you an email this morning. Very much enjoyed the bit of your writing I’ve been able to read so far. Glad to see the publishing situation at least starting to get back under control!

P.P.S. If you don't know - you can usually find me live a couple times a week over on Twitch at twitch.tv/thetommycox. All of our revenue and proceeds always go to our Extra Life fundraiser to support my local Children's Miracle Network hospital, Children's of Alabama!

P.S. Technically, Extra Life fundraisers don't officially close until the end of the calendar year, so I'll still be raising money here through the end of the year: extra-life.org/participant/.... Our second stretch goal is to beat our 2023 fundraising total of $3,792!

Thank you all so much for checking in and being a part of my Extra Life campaign and 25-hour Game Day stream this year. I am so incredibly grateful for everyone who's been around and helped support my stream and fundraiser throughout this journey!

Here's some stats from this year's Game Day stream:
- 14 paper airplanes for 14 subscribers
- 9 Pokémon Post-Its from memory
- 8 Hawaiian shirts (all at the same time)
- 3 banana cronches (iykyk)
- 1 espresso shot
All over our 25-hour stream!

Moving on to Sea of Thieves for hour 2… is extra sweet tea too sweet? Let’s find out: twitch.tv/thetommycox

We've got just under a week to go - join me for our Game Day fundraising stream at twitch.tv/thetommycox next Saturday!

I'm quickly creeping up on $10,000 lifetime raised for Children's of Alabama since starting this fundraising journey. Right now, we're just under $500 away from that milestone, which will be reached when we surpass $2,845 raised in 2024.

Additionally, all Twitch revenue donated will also be turned around and donated to my Extra Life campaign - so there are multiple ways to donate!

Different fundraisers have different traditions for Game Day, but I committed to stream for 25 hours straight (over the time change) as the main event!

We'll have special donation incentives during the stream for direct donations to my campaign (at extra-life.org/participant/...).

I can't forget about my incredible moderation and support team that's been there for me along the way as well. You all had no reason to stay up with me as late/early as most of you did - thank you for keeping me company and keeping the chat and stream in good hands!
