    About this project

    C. Wilke from Kindernachsorgeklinik Berlin-Brandenburg gGmbH is responsible for this project
    Well-known speedrunners from all around the world are coming to Berlin for the weekend of Apr 11-13 to set new speed records. Speed runs are not about following the rules set forth in the instructions, but rather to see how fast a game can be beaten. The skilled and creative efforts earn great recognition in the gamer community, so you can often find thousands online watching them play live. During the Gamefest 2014 at the Computerspielemuseum, speedrunners are not only meeting up for honor and sporting success, but also to bring together all of Gamefest’s partners with their engagement to help support the Children’s Follow-Up Clinic Berlin-Brandenburg.

    The Gamefest is organized by the Computerspielemuseum in cooperation with the Stiftung Digitale Spielekultur (Foundation of Digital Games Culture). It takes place as part of the INTERNATIONAL GAMES WEEK BERLIN sponsored by the Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg. The Charity Gaming Marathon will be organized by the Computerspielemuseum in cooperation with Olymptronica.

    Kindernachsorgeklinik Berlin Brandenburg
    Children’s Follow-Up Clinic Berlin-Brandenburg

    Since 2009, the Children’s Follow-Up Clinic Berlin-Brandenburg has been taking care of children and youth suffering from cancer and heart-disease. After months of anxiety and uncertainty in strenuous chemotherapy, these seriously ill children are brought back to health by a four-week rehabilitation program. This clinic’s concept is exceptional due to its focus on families. Sick children do not come alone, but rather are accompanied by their parents and siblings. Since its opening, 3000 affected people have been treated. Our non-profit Children’s Follow-Up Clinic cannot be completely financed by health insurance alone. Expenses for medical devices and additional therapy can only be financed through donations. All additional support is absolutely necessary to make sure we can keep offering our care in the future.

    With your donation for the Speedrun Charity Marathon, you help ensure that we can keep running our music therapy program in 2014. This therapy allows us to help children and their families to reach individual goals on the basis of a therapeutic relationship. Connected with this is the aim to restore, maintain and support the psychological, physical and mental health of our children and youth. The children forget their worries as well as their illness, so their health stabilizes itself again. Our motto for this is “Actively experience the music and express your emotions.” This therapy is financed exclusively through donations. Support our music therapy and help bring smiles back to the faces of our children.
