Story
This is my 5th year in a row fundraising for SpecialEffect's Gameblast event and I've got a some amazing things planned along with some friends along for the ride to help raise money for Gameblast 21!
-------------------------- WHAT'S HAPPENING? --------------------------
1. VIRTUALLY WALKING TO SPECIAL EFFECT HQ (AND BACK!)
Over the past two years I've used my treadmill to complete a literal gaming marathon by walking the 42.2KM while gaming the entire time.
This year I plan to virtually walk to SpecialEffect's HQ at Charlbury, Oxfordshire and back to my hometown of Shrewsbury whilst visiting different GAME stores and Belong arenas along the way. Again I'll be utilising my treadmill and streaming the entire journey over the coming months via my twitch channel.

New for this year I have asked my regular Dungeons & Dragons friends; Colin Kelly-Cook, Dominic Leonard, Mark Everard, Sam Blowes, and Thomas Scragg to help me raise awareness for SpecialEffect and we're attempting to play 24 hours of Dungeons & Dragons with a bespoke adventure created by our DM Colin.

3. 24 HOUR GAMING MARATHON
It wouldn't be Gameblast without the iconic 24 hours gaming marathon where I and guests game for 24 hours straight. Being the fifth year of me completing this I will adding forfeits thought the stream.
