Story

Hey everyone!

I've somehow been roped in to a 19-hour (maybe 24 hours!) gaming marathon all in the name of charity. I'm not athletic at all, so this is probably right up my street! I'll be teaming up with two mates on the day and playing a load of different games.

The charity we'll be raising money for is CALM, (The Campaign Against Living Miserably), which is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. Anyone can hit crisis point. CALM run a free and confidential helpline and webchat 7 hours a day, 7 days a week for anyone who needs to talk about life's problems.

CALM is an amazing charity which means a lot to me personally as I've encountered some particularly rough and dark moments since my dad died 2 years ago. We'll also be streaming into my birthday, so surely that is worth an extra donation alone!

And so as such we need your help! Our initial team target is £250 which will be upped if we get to that total, so get donating! Side note, we may bump up to 24hrs if this is reached so even more of an incentive for you to see 3 dreary eyed, sleep deprived men trying their best to stay awake at 7am the next day after no sleep.

We will be streaming on Twitch from 8am on Friday 12th June to 3am on Saturday 13th June (8am if £300 target is reached).

You'll be able to watch my stream live on Twitch and Mixer.

So, get donating guys and girls and join the stream even if for a short while if you can to support us!

Thanks all.
