Tragedy & Gaming
Hello, Ability Powered Gamers. I wanted to take a second to write a short note to update you guys on a few things. First off, let me get some tragedy out of the way so I can end with the good. You may have noticed my absence. Two weeks ago my grandmother was rushed to the Emergency Room. Long story short, while she had been triumphing against a non-aggressive form of cancer a more evil type was creeping in… undetected.
Comfort Through Tragedy
She is now living at our house and in Hospice’s care. While the doctor couldn’t tell us how long we have with her, they don’t expect us to have as long as we’d like. My videos in particular will be coming slower. I will be posting a full schedule again when life changes and will be slowly adding videos as I can although recording audio is proving to be problematic. Right now she is still strong and in good spirits. Please understand while I take a bit of time to spend with the lady who instilled a deep love for all types of games within me.
Charity Through Gaming
As I said earlier I wanted to start off with the sad and end with the good. Thanks to friends and fans of Ability Powered and Gaming In Sherwood our first ever Extra-Life Ability Powered Team raised $300 for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals! Huge thanks to everyone who supported us. We can’t wait to join again next year and try to top this years donations. It was a long, but amazing 25 hours!
Podcast Power
Also, I wanted to thank the LowPopWow podcast for inviting me on the show October 26th. Spreading awareness about gamers’ with disabilities is so important, and sharing tips and tricks to keep gamers in-game is something I love. LowPopWow is an advocate like myself, and it was an honor to be her guest. Follow her on twitter for her broadcast schedule and updates!
