Every time I come to these marathons, I find myself amazed. I started watching all the way back with CGDQ, donating a few marathons after that, and attending starting with AGDQ 2013. I'm amazed not only by the massive amounts of money raised, not only by the incredible gaming skill on display, but also by the people present, how friendly and supportive of each other everyone is. Just wandering around, you can see people playing games, working together on new runs, or improving strats for existing games, or maybe just talking and having a good time, all while donating a week (not counting all the work the staff and runners put in outside of the marathon itself) to great causes like MSF and PCF. Thank you to everyone involved for creating an amazing experience for two weeks every year.
