The Harry Potter Speedrun Marathon aka Potterthon is an online marathon for the Lumos Foundation. All proceeds will go to Lumos.

Charity Info: "No child should be denied a family life because they are poor, disabled or from an ethnic minority. Lumos works to support the 8 million children in institutions worldwide to regain their right to a family life and to end the institutionalisation of children." The Foundation was founded by none other than J.K. Rowling, the woman who gave the world Harry Potter. In 2004, she saw an article in the Sunday Times about children being kept in caged beds in institutions, J.K. Rowling felt compelled to address this terrible problem. As a result she founded the charity that became Lumos. Lumos, a non-governmental charity organisation, works in partnership with governments, professionals and carers, communities, families and children, to transform outdated systems that drive families apart. Together with their partners they replace institutions with community based services that provide children with access to health, education and social care tailored to their individual needs. This supports families to provide the loving care their children need to develop to their full potential and build a positive future for themselves. For more information visit http://wearelumos.org/
Marathon Info: The Marathon is around 48 hours of nonstop gameplay with around 15 runners running about 18 of the games and their categories from the PC to Console. Many Races will be held as well such as the Better Trifecta at the beginning of the marathon and the huge Harry Potter 2 PC Race. There will be several donation incentives throughout the marathon such as game raffling. The marathon will start at around 6:45 AM EST(11:45 AM GMT) and will go on until about Noon on Monday. There will be a bonus stream where all incentives that weren't complete will be done as well as some hardcore blind races. This is the first ever Potterthon we as a community have put together and we hope to see you all there!
