Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Gaming is such a huge part of my life. It's one of my main hobbies, and it's something that my husband and I (and our friends) spend a lot of time doing together. Thinking about having the ability to play games taken away from me following an accident, etc., is simply unfathomable.

When I heard about SpecialEffect (https://www.specialeffect.org.uk) and the work that they do, I offered to volunteer for them in August 2018 at Insomnia63 at the NEC in Birmingham and I was welcomed into the fold with open arms. I've since volunteered with them on multiple occasions, and absolutely love the opportunity to do so.

GameBlast26 is taking place officially during 27th February to 1st March 2026. I will be streaming all weekend for as long as I possibly can; I usually aim for over 30hrs of gameplay time throughout the weekend.

I appreciate all and any donations - big or small, everything will go towards improving the quality of life for someone in the UK. If you're able to Gift Aid that just helps give that little bit more!

I will be streaming at: twitch.tv/vixzens and youtube.com/@vixzens
