My partner Jane's brave, courageous and endlessly lovely mum Vicky passed away from cancer in 2013 and Macmillan were there to support her throughout her final months, weeks and days. 

Other family members have benefited from the wonderful support of Macmillan over the years, as well as friends who are doing so right now. 

Whilst i'm not climbing Snowdon, cycling for 200 miles or swimming the Channel, I figured why not push myself to do something I enjoy for a good cause. 

As it's Christmas and money is tight for everyone these days, I've set a modest target of £200 as my fundraising goal. If you can spare a few quid that would be just awesome, but if not just feel free to be cool and share the details for me across your social media accounts! 

You can watch me live, live, live on December 20th  from 5am at www.dansgamingmarathon.wordpress.com...
