Story

It's our fourth annual video game marathon! Over the last 3 years we've raised over £1300 for some great causes and we're back at it again for Marathon number 4! 

Mike, Sean Collison, Jess, Rich and Josh will be playing (and streaming what we can) a variety of games for 24 hours straight, this year in aid of Abortion Support Network, a charity helping people from Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man get access to safe abortions in England. 

In both Northern Ireland (despite being part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland, abortion is illegal in almost all circumstances and it is virtually impossible  to access an abortion legally. 

Every year thousands of people travel from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to England for abortions. These people have to pay to travel to England and must have an abortion as a private patient, which costs anywhere from £400 to £2000, and sometimes more. Other costs are often incurred, including accommodation, childcare and time off work.

We think this is a great charity and the money we raise will go a long way, and we really appreciate any donations you make!
