Howdy all! The last day in February is Rare Disease Day, where we try to raise awareness for rare diseases. This is a day with special significance to my family and I, as my daughter suffered full paralysis in her right arm at the age of 2 from Acute Flaccid Myelitis.
To help raise awareness and money for charity, I'm doing a "Stroll Through Eorzea" in FFXIV, where I'll be walking through all the ARR zones. I'll be streaming the walkathon with my wife and daughter, telling our story. We'll also be stopping at cities along the way, giving away in game items. In addition, I'll be raffling off Mogstation items, such as costumes, minions, and mounts.
If anyone would like to join us, the walkathon begins at 1pm EST in Limsa Lominsa on the Gilgamesh server.
There is also a Charity GoFundMe, where we are raising money for the Acute Flaccid Myelitis Association. Before posting the link, I want to stress that this is a Charity GoFundMe, which means at no point does any of the money go to me. The money goes directly to the charity, and GoFundMe waives all fees. Plus, my family and I will not be benefiting from the money, as we have been very lucky enough to have support of friends and family for our needs, but many children with AFM are not so lucky.
I'd be grateful if people could help spread the word, and the more that decide to come to the Stroll Through Eorzea the better!
