On August 11th 2018, my friends and I will be hosting a 12-hour Gaming Livestream to raise money for Inspiring Life: The Evie Douglas Memorial Fund.

This is a fund set up by Freda Douglas to honour her daughter Evie who completed suicide weeks after her 21st birthday. The goal of this fund is to support people in our community to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

The aim is to raise awareness of mental health issues, challenge stigma and to fundraise for local mental health charities, support groups and activity groups. This fund has made donations to SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health,) SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide,) and Peebles High School Dance Group. They are often found running Depressed Cake Shops selling grey cakes representing the cloud that can descend when we are struggling with poor mental health to raise money for mental health causes.

We encourage you to watch this stream and donate generously. This is a very good cause ran by someone who truly cares about mental health and its effect on each and every one of us. It's a cause we admire and wish to support greatly.

Throughout our livestream we are going to be doing challenges and, at the end, the loser of the most challenges will get dunked with an ice bucket. If we reach this first target, I will personally guarantee that I take a dunking alongside the loser at the end of the stream.

Also, for every £250 we raise, another person will be added to the dunking list at the end of the event. (Second Last, Third Last, etc.)

Thank you very much! You will be able to watch the stream at twitch.tv/edoowinnie August 11th from 11am to 11pm.
