More of my reasoning for selecting this charity:
In May of 2025, my girlfriend was diagnosed with stage 3 Melanoma. This past year has been incredibly difficult navigating that while having a job as someone who has a public personality every day, but I'm grateful to say she's been consistently getting better every week for months now.
Early on in this process I had never had anyone in my life who had skin cancer before and I didn't know much about it. After some google searches I found the Skin Cancer Foundation, thought it was a fantastic organization, and reached out to them about joining tiltify so I could fundraise for them. The marathon I did last year somehow raised over $34,000 dollars.
Since then I've continued to be involved in their organization, most recently being interviewed and having a section in their annual Skin Cancer Foundation journal they put together. It was an honor to talk about how incredible our community was during the fundraiser.
The Skin Cancer Foundation focuses on prevention, education, and awareness, and my favorite thing they do is something called Destination Healthy Skin, a free skin cancer screening & education program that's a mobile bus which travels all over the United States.
On Friday the 22nd, the final day of this marathon, I'll also be joined by the development coordinator for the Skin Cancer Foundation, Melanie, to answer any questions about Skin Cancer and prevention along with being able to share valuable information about what the Skin Cancer foundation does!
On a personal note, I'm very excited because this Marathon will also take us all the way to run 9,999, finishing our nearly 8 month sprint to do our 10,000 speedrun live at TwitchCon EU in less than 2 weeks :)
I personally will be donating 1 dollar for every run that I complete, along with an additional 5 dollars for every run under 20 minutes. See you there!
It's 2am and we FINISHED OUT CHARITY MARATHON FOR @SkinCancerOrg
$34,357 raised to fight and prevent skin cancer, enough money to fund 858 FREE skin cancer screenings, equivalent to helping over 22 communities.
This has been so rewarding. Thank you all so much <3

According to @SkinCancerOrg :
โข 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.
โข Having 5 or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma.
โข When detected early, the 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 99 percent.
๐ Skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States
Each year, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer than all other cancers combined. This highlights the scale of the public health challenge and the importance of prevention, education and early detection efforts.
Improving awareness of risk factors and encouraging timely clinical assessment can significantly reduce morbidity and improve outcomes at a population level.
During Skin Cancer Awareness Month, we are supporting the campaign led by The Skin Cancer Foundation @SkinCancerOrg to advance awareness, education and prevention of skin cancer.
