Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

We'll be doing our 24 hours after the offical weekend due to other commitments. 

SpecialEffect help people with disabilities to play video games. By using technology ranging from modified games controllers to eye-control, they’re finding a way for people to play to the very best of their abilities. But they’re not just doing it for fun. By levelling the playing field, they’re bringing families and friends together and having a massively positive impact on inclusion, confidence and rehabilitation.

We plan on streaming as much as we can over twitch.tv on Saturday 28th February, a week after the official weekend due to other commitments.  

We're going to mostly be playing on the PC and PS4, though we had some plans to play older stuff too such as the SNES, and will be having at least an hour playing Muppet Race Mania on the PSone.

Jackbox Party games, Fibbage and Drawful are also on the cards, and hopefully some viewers of our twitch page will get to join in with those.

We've invited a few of our friends to come over and points in the day to hang out and play too.

You can follow the three of us on twitter by adding @Mike_83 @baz9torres and @Reidy3k3.  The Twitch channel we will be using, which you can also follow is http://www.twitch.tv/mikeakehurst
