AGDQ, the annual charity speedrunning marathon, has set a record this year for its fundraising — fantastic news, considering that the first COVID-19 online-only event last year resulted in a dip in funds.
In January 2020, AGDQ raised $3,164,002 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, over half a million more than its previous year's fundraising total of $2,425,790.
This year, GDQ is back on form, with a whopping $3,416,780 raised — resulting in the highest-ever donation record at any GDQ event, including Summer Games Done Quick, where the record is currently $3,039,596.
It's not the only fundraising record that AGDQ 2022 set, either: This year was also the shortest amount of time that it took to raise $1 million?
Over the 12 years that the Games Done Quick speedrun marathons have existed, the amount raised for charity has increased by over 30,000%!
According to at least one person on Twitter, there were even more records set this year — seven world records, that is, for games that were speedrun (speedranned?) on stream.
