Video gaming is more than just a hobby, for some it's a way to escape & take their minds off their troubles, for others its a way to be included with their friends when they might not be able to in other ways. It's inclusive, it's fun and it can make more of a difference to someone's life than you might realise.

I've supported Special Effect and their efforts to make innovative solutions to allow everyone who wants to game to be able to for years. As we almost reached the 3K follower goal on Twitch in 2019 I want to give back and help bring the joy of gaming to others by raising £2,929 (the number of followers we achieved) in 2,929 minutes of streaming (not all at once obviously).

I'll also be taking part in Gameblast20. By sponsoring my GameBlast20 gaming challenge, you'll be helping the gamers' charity SpecialEffect to find new ways for people with physical disabilities to play. You'll be funding the expertise, assessments, equipment and lifelong support that will bring joy, self-confidence and a degree of independence into the lives of hundreds of people.If you love games, help us level the gaming playing field for everyone!

You can find my stream at http://www.twitch.tv/aravelle live on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays from 9pm (UK) and more details will follow about the Gameblast20 streams.
