For this year's epic Game Heroes live event, we’ve got two opposing teams of pro gamers whose aim of the game is to take home the trophy by battling it out and raising the most money for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

The teams will be busy gathering support and devising their game plans over the next few weeks, and on 4 October they'll be coming together for the head-to-head gaming showdown, which will all be live streamed on our Twitch channel. 

Tune in between midday and 8pm on 4 October to see our big-name pro gamers battle it out on a whole host of games. Show your support for your favourite gamer or team by cheering them on, giving them challenges and forfeits or by donating to your chosen team page to help them get to gaming glory. Details of the teams coming soon! 

In the meantime, you can donate to this page to help us raise vital funds, or get sponsored to take on your own epic 24-hour gaming challenge for Macmillan. Sign up at gameheroes.macmillan.org.uk 

So why are we doing all this? Because all money raised will help Macmillan Cancer Support continue to provide emotional, financial, medical and practical support to people living with cancer. Last year’s Game Heroes live event raised £10,000, and with your help we can make this year’s event even bigger. Thank you so much for your support.
