The only things we're killing are imaginary monsters!
That's right, in the fantasy football game Blood Bowl, players (called "coaches") can have their miniatures (called "players") take a spiky football and run it into an opponent's end zone, scoring a touchdown. But the game encourages you to maim and slaighter along the way!
Every time Andrew (a.k.a. Spanky_100) causes a Casualty or a Death, he will contribute $2 at the end of the year to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. And the only ones who get killed are imaginary Orcs, Wights, Vampires, Dark Elves, Skeletons, Trolls, Rat Ogres, and the myriad other denizens that haunt the Blood Bowl pitch.
He began his quest at Khornemas Bowl IV in mid-December, 2025 and he will continue tallying his Casualties and Deaths until Khornemas Bowl V in mid-December of 2026.

The Battle for Breath was a great event that encompassed more than just Blood Bowl. I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes tabletop war games such as Shatterpoint, Warhammer, or Middle Earth Battle Game.
Had a very fun tournament. I was very lucky to play against several new opponents and went undefeated over the 5 games (2 wins and 3 draws) using the tournament theme team, Slann. I also walked away with the Best Painted award for the second year in a row. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent with friends old and new.
Another highlight: I also won the double skull - reroll double skull spot prize! That's the perfect snapshot of my Blood Bowl! Hahahaha! The prize was a dice display case, which is a wooden puzzle and came with a set of 12 High Elf dice.
The Blood Bowl was organized by my friend Scotty, who did a great job. Many thanks!
Battle for Breath
While down in Kitchener/Waterloo at the Battle for Breath tournament, I managed 10 more Casualties, which means I will donate $20 MORE to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. This brings my total donation up to 168 Casualties or Kills, meaning the running total for my year-end contribution is currently sitting at $336!
Thrunk Memorial Brick VII
I already told you about how the 19th annual Deathbowl tournament (Oct 24–25) has decided to support Killing for Kids. Well, this week I got news that another tournament will also contribute!
I’m excited to announce Canada's largest one-day Blood Bowl tournament, the Brick, will encourage all registrants to support Killing for Kids. The Tournament Organizer (NotThePornGuy) will allow registrants to pre-declare a minimum number of Casualties or Kills they intend to inflict on their opponents on behalf of Killing for Kids and add the donation into the payment of their registration fee.
This makes it SUPER EASY to support Killing for Kids! Just add a few dollars to the money transfer you were going to do anyways.
So let's make the Thrunk Memorial Brick VII on August 15 in Vankleek Hill the the biggest, bloodiest, and most impactful one yet.
See you there!

WHERE I'M AT
How It Got Started :
Blame Runbad
Adam Hawkins (aka Runbad) streams Blood Bowl on Twitch. In late autumn of 2025, he did an awesome 24-hour straight fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). It inspired me Adam Hawkins (aka Runbad) streams Blood Bowl on Twitch. In late autumn of 2025, he did an awesome 24-hour straight fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). It inspired me to do a year of fundraising. I will donate $2 to CHEO between Khornemas Bowl IV of December 2025 and Khornemas Bowl V of December 2026 for every Casualty or Kill I inflict upon my opponents' players.
MATCH MY DONATION
As noted above, I'm doing this because Runbad started what I think is a noble fundraising effort. Well, there's nothing stopping you from doing something similar! Make a commitment to match my fundraising efforts and we'll multiply the power of my Killing for Kids. If you feel uncomfortable with an open-ended commitment, then put a ceiling on your support.

Taxal, who helped me come up with my idea for this fundraising campaign by declaring he'd do a Year of the 'Fling and play nothing but Halflings, has earned his slot as a Teammate because he agreed to do a reverse Killing for Kids at the Card Brawlers Rookie Mayhem on May 17 in Montreal. Because he was playing Halflings (like he will at EVERY tournament this year), he declared he'd contribute $2 for every Casaulty or Kill that he SUFFERED! Thank you Dan!
