Story

SpecialEffect help people with disabilities to play video games. By using technology ranging from modified games controllers to eye-control, they’re finding a way for people to play to the very best of their abilities. But they’re not just doing it for fun. Find out more at www.specialeffect.org.uk

I have had lots of experience using SpecialEffect to help me access gaming. Strangely enough without football manager supporting the charity, I wouldn't have known they existed. Completely lucky I clicked the pitch side advertisement board, thanks Miles you deserve a mexican wave specialty!!!  I couldn't join in on console gaming with friends or play FIFA, now that is something i'm extremely happy about. I couldn't thank them enough as I never thought I would end up having a console again.

Just thought I would mention this again, I'll be streaming in Twitch too, will be doing as much gaming as possible saturday, sunday and monday. If anyone can possibly spare a quid or two, i'll be happy. At the £300 I will wear a newcastle united shirt and post as my profile picture (I support Sunderland too). At £600 i'll wear the whole kit.

I've added my fundraising page Gaming for charity to the team GameBlast15.
