24 Hours of Minecraft Charity

I feel like doing something good, so I came up with an idea for a charity project. My plan is to get Minecraft and find a way to stream my game and play for as long as I can without stopping, with my goal being 24 hours straight. I would have donations for lump sums, by the hour (you set an amount you will donate per hour I keep playing) and amounts for certain goals (like reach 10 hours, 18, 24 ect). All of the proceeds would go towards Child's Play, a charity started by the Penny Arcade guys. Hopefully I can get some major outlets like Kotaku, The Escapist, or Penny Arcade to get the word out so I could raise as much money as I could. My rules would be I could never pause the game, leave the room except bathroom(I would leave the game going and just go at night) and never opening other windows like guides on how to craft things I would rather have a chat box so people can give suggestions. I would also attempt to get guests via Skype, or other chat services, like Notch(the creator of Minecraft) and other people to give people more incentive to support. I would like to state again that this would all be non-profit, just donations to Child's Play.

My question for you guys is: What do you think of this idea, do you know a service I can use to stream my game, and would you support and spread the word around.

    very funny. Now that this obvious joke is out of the way (people play this a lot, I get it), does anyone have helpful suggestions?

    Pledge to build something specific, something impressive, within the 24 hour limit. The jaded denizens of the internet just won't be impressed by 24 hours alone. People spend that long on WoW and nobody gives them money.
