Tell us a little about yourself?
I’m Richard. I enjoy fitness, video games, and spreading joy to others. This includes making other people laugh. (including myself.)
Why did you do a 24-hour stream to fundraise for HeartSupport?
I firmly stand by what HeartSupport is all about – and I wanted to help in the best way I could. On Twitch – charity streams are quite common, and I always wanted to do one – but only for a cause I’m insanely passionate about, and it will have so over-the-top that people would open their eyes and go “Oh, this guy means business. I’m going to listen and I want to help.” – That’s why I went for the 24-hour stream route…Because I really did want the people who did attend, to realize that the cause I’m supporting is much needed.
Where did you come up with the idea, because it worked great!
The idea of a 24-hour gaming stream was inspired by the multiple marathon gaming events available today. I created my own event and gave it a name: #TwitchHaveAHeart – then told my friends about it, then added it to social media. My intention was so that everyone wouldn’t look at it than just another “fundraiser” – It was a 24-hour event to come hang out and enjoy themselves – while learning about a wonderful cause and why they should support it.
“But I don’t know how to fundraise!”
No Sweat. We’ll train you!

We’re committed to seeing you succeed so we put together a short but informative pamphlet (complete with checklists!) to train you on just how to fundraise for your birthday, an event, or challenge you’re doing on our behalf! By the time you finish reading you’ll be confident you can knock it out of the park.

Fact:
The average donation size for those committed to seeing their idea work is typically $77 per each person they ask (with an average of around $700 total per event campaign)
donate your birthday
Celebrate your birthday by asking friends for donations on Facebook in lieu of your birthday. Make this birthday count knowing it will go towards impacting someone who needs hope.
Get creative
Grow a mustache, shave your beard, paint, host a gaming marathon, or throw a party. You have fun ideas that can benefit HeartSupport that others just might want to support!
Take on a challenge
Run a marathon, do a crossfit competition, hike a mountain, rally your school sport team, or even lose weight. Use your goals as an opportunity to raise money for a good cause!
