Recent Events:

We are pleased to report that the 1UpOnCancer office has emerged from February's snow, power failures and deep cold virtually unscathed! Thankfully our pipes did not burst, and both studios A and B are still available for use.

Despite the face mask mandate being lifted in Texas on March 10, we still require masking and social distancing in our office and studios.


At this time, we must be also be completely transparent about the dire straits that this organization is now in. Due to the pandemic and subsequent cancellation of many events that 1UpOnCancer has typically attended in the past, 2020 was a year with low visibility for us. This, in turn, has led to our funds becoming dangerously low. 

If we are to continue our mission of helping adults with cancer pay their medical bills, we need to turn things around immediately! The existence of COVID-19 does not mean that cancer is less prevalent. In fact, due to financial constraints caused by the pandemic, many people need financial assistance more urgently than before.

This is where all of you, our loyal supporters, come in. We ask for your help during this time in any way that you might be able to provide it - hosting a charity stream, reaching out to any personal contacts who might take interest in helping, or any other way you might think of. 

2020 was a year where everyone kept repeating, "We're all in this together." These words ring true for 1UpOnCancer as well. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our board members or managers.

Hi, my name is Hannah - otherwise known as HandalfTheBae! I am a streamer, student nurse and advocate for always trying to sprinkle a little bit more fairy dust in this world.

I am a massive nerd - you will often find me discussing my love for Final Fantasy (mainly 7), ranting about how Ocarina of Time is one of the best games in this world or swooning over Obi-Wan Kenobi (prequel of course).  

I have a strong dislike for horror games due to me being an absolute scaredy-cat, so naturally my community wanted me to play them. Begrudgingly I agreed to but only on the basis that it was a 12-hour horror stream for charity [in October 2020].

As a health care worker I strongly believe having access to medical treatment is a basic human right - making 1UpOnCancer the perfect cause to support. I have personally dealt with the loss cancer can bring, as I know so many in this world have. 

In keeping with the theme of Halloween our goal was $666 - and to my absolute astonishment we ended up raising over $5K for 1UpOnCancer.

I will always be grateful to my extremely kind community and fantastic mods who helped keep everything running smoothly. It was an absolute pleasure and joy fundraising for 1UpOnCancer and if you are a streamer and have ever considered doing so, I urge you to try. It does not matter how much you raise - every little bit is helping someone to pay for their cancer treatment and ultimately making the world a better place.
