I am doing this to promote mental awareness through something that I love doing in my spare time but for many is a way to escape reality. I've made plenty of friends through gaming and appreciate the positives that it brings and would like to share it with everyone. 

This event has been made possible by the Heriot-Watt League of Legends society which I am part of and grateful for the idea of the marathon as it is a way to spend time together and do what we enjoy, but also do some good to the people around us.
