Sadly my girlfriend's brother, Andrew, was born with a genetic disorder that unfortunately took his life on 29th August 2000, a little over a month past his 9th birthday.

Martin House provided the Wray family with care throughout this process on a practical and emotional level. They provide a beautiful space for families to receive respite care, palliative care, and to deal with the grieving process.

Obviously I never met Andrew, but the least I can do is raise some money in his honour, as the future brother-in-law I will sadly never meet.

There will be lots of people live tweeting and twitch streaming their 24 hour efforts. I will be live tweeting my day with progressively incoherent tweets @luke_rahman. 

Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will be gratefully received, and I would recommend attending a Martin House open day (October each year) in the future to see where the money goes, because the work they do, and the passion that drives it, is really quite remarkable.

Thank you - Luke
