My name is Howard van der Wal and I'm currently an English teacher living and working in Japan!
This campaign was recently spurred on by my grandfather, whom sadly recently passed away due to cancer.
There are many children in Japan right now, living with cancer (Leukemia) and other serious conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes. They may not have the long and fantastic life that my grandfather had.
Shine On! Kids, is a non-profit organisation in Japan, that specilises in giving children suffering with these horrendous conditions coping mechanisms, such as their "Facility Dog" and "Beads of Courage" programmes. These programmes ease the childrens' suffering and gives them happiness, strength and hope in their darkest hours.

I for one, love Japan and enjoy working with children. The Japanese people have been amazing, kind and incredible to me and I want to give something back.
With my extreme passion for videogames, I am going to do a 30 hour non-stop (with 10 minute breaks every hour for safety's sake ;) ) gaming marathon to raise money. It will be livestreamed on Twitch.tv (apologies, it will be webcam only and no gameplay, as I have tested it and my upload bitrate isn't fast enough, therefore I have to use a low bitrate to reduce stutter, resulting in the gameplay not looking nice)). The livestream will begin Friday, October 2nd @ 21:00 Local Japan Time. For people in the UK, Japan is 8 hours ahead, so that is 13:00 UK time for you guys.
This is my Twitch channel:

The main point of the livestream is to show that I'm upholding my end of the bargain (to achieve the goal of playing games for 30 hours straight), as well as providing other information, such as current game being played, countdown timer, current donation level and allow you guys to interact with me via the chat.
If anyone living in Japan would like to join me for games of Smash Bros., Mario Kart and other great games, then please come over at any time on that weekend! The more the merrier!
If you donate, thank you very much! I personally will be giving a £25 donation towards the goal. Every penny raised, will go towards the charity! Even just watching the Twitch stream is fantastic support and I really hope to achieve my goal. Thank you for reading and I can't wait to start!
Thanks again!

私はハワードバンダーワルです!仕事は英語の教員です。日本に住んで働きます。
先だって私のお爺さんは癌で死にました。悲しかったです!
いま日本にたくさん子供が白血病と嚢胞性線維症と糖尿病を持ってます!多分その子供は長いと凄い命を持ってません!
シャイン・オン!・キッズは日本に非営利の団体です。その団体は子供に特別対処法を上げます。例えば、ファシリティドッグとビーズ・オブ・カレッジ 段取りをします。その段取りは子供の苦難が寛げます!子供の夜明けに幸せと力と希望を上げます。
