I remember how much video games were a part of my childhood. I have so many amazing memories of playing with my friends, from beating them in Mario Kart or FIFA right up to getting their help with Donkey Kong Country or Super Metroid.

SpecialEffect designs and builds equipment that lets people with disabilities play games. They no longer have to feel like they're missing out on something that can be such a defining part of modern life. You only need to look at the photos to see how much of an impact this can have, particularly when it comes to kids.

I've been a supporter of SpecialEffect for a long time. They've always been really prompt and super friendly when we talk, so I'm happy to continue doing so as much as possible.

I'll be running my marathon as a 24-hour live stream and you'll be able to keep up with that on my Twitch page.

By donating to my campaign, you'll basically be helping a child play games. You'll be helping them discover the joy of playing in a way that they couldn't have done otherwise. So please give what you can, because every child deserves the chance to play with their friends.

How To Donate

The quickest and easiest way is via this page right here. In the UK you can also donate by texting BLST90 £2 (or your chosen amount) to 70070.

On stream there will be a link back here and you can also watch and donate via Tiltify.

I will forward any Twitch donations, tips or subscriptions to Special Effect for the entire month of March. In addition, any commission raised via my affiliate links will go to charity as well. So even if you're doing something for yourself, you'll still be helping others! That's a win win right there.
