43 hours of Marvel to raise money for starlight
I love the Marvel movies. They mean a lot to me. Seeing someone rising up to fight bullies to protect people just makes me feel happy.
With "Avengers: Endgame" coming out, I saw on Facebook that a US company is offering $1,000 to someone who watches all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in a row. I can't actually enter this competition as it's for the US only and I'm in Australia but I wanted to see if I could do it anyway even though i'm getting nothing out of it.
In short words, I'm going to watch all the Marvel movies back to back.
You're probably reading this thinking, "What's the point?". Well I want to give it a point. I don't want to be paid $1,000 to watch them, I want to raise at least $1,000 for the Starlight Foundation while watching them.
"Starlight's mission: "To brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families".
Because sick kids are still kids at heart...
When a once-bright life becomes dulled by needles, hospital visits and painful treatments, Starlight helps sick kids forget their illness and re-discover the joy of childhood.
We know there's more to treatment than medicine. That's why since 1988, we've partnered with Australian health professionals to develop programs based on positive psychology principles that support the 'total care' of our children and teens.
Like the young people in our care, we are distinctly Australian. Our unique programs are the result of extensive research and respond to the specific needs of Aussie kids and teens.
We know what kids and their families are facing when serious illness or injury consumes their lives.
We disrupt the relentless cycle of pain and trauma and offer a welcome break so that sick kids can simply be kids.
We believe fun fights fear and wins every time."
Total length of all these movies is 42 hours and 53 minutes not including "Captain Marvel".
Only breaks I'll take are for toilet brakes and it will be between changing movies (unless I desperately need to go).
I know this sounds kinda silly but it's for a good cause and its quite the challenge sitting through almost 2 days of movies. Any donations you could donate would be greatly appreciated.
Please share this around on social media and try and make it a big thing!
