TheSpeedGamers are a group of gamers who have raised approximately $32,000 for various charities by putting on several different video game marathons. $10,000 of their total donations were raised during the 72 hour Earthbound marathon in May 2009.

Marking their 12th marathon will be their attempt to beat Final Fantasy 1-12 live on webcam while raising money for ACT Today (Autism charity). The marathon will start today, Friday July 17th and play continuously for an entire week while streaming their game play. For a bit of viewer interaction, a commentary feed and chat will be accompanying the game play.

Mana Potions is supporting TheSpeedGamers and donating gift boxes to the top 5 donators. The Boxes will include a 12 pack combo mana/health, wristband, shirt, mouse pad, and some swag. The 5 runner-up donators will also receive a 4pack combo Mana/Health with wristband. There will also be prizes such as Chocobo and Catuar Plushies, and Final Fantasy posters with original art being given away.

All of this and more can be found on their website www.TheSpeedGamers.com.
