30 Hour Gaming Marathon!!

[Vampiric_Penguin]

In three days I will be starting my next charity event:

A 30 hour gaming marathon - in support of Gendered Intelligence!

This will be an intense event that consists of me playing video games for 30 hours without sleep (small breaks are allowed). I will be joined by a few of my friends for what will be an epic fundraiser. It starts at 11:00 GMT on Saturday 3rd March and runs until 17:00 GMT on Sunday 4th March.

Gendered Intelligence are a UK based CIC (Community Interest Company - effectively a charity that has a little more leeway in remit but doesn't receive tax breaks) that works with young trans and non-binary people* aged 11-25 through support groups, workshops and camping trips. They are a brilliant cause that have supported me personally and given me opportunities to develop skills and friends for life. www.genderedintelligence.co.uk

The gaming marathon will be livesteamed via Twitch at bit.ly/jaymelive (access available outside work) and donations to Gendered Intelligence can be made at bit.ly/jaymedonate

Thanks, all! Hope you tune in and watch!

Some of the games I'm probably going to play are:

Skyrim
Minecraft (Tekkit)
Payday 2
CoD: Zombies
Metal Gear Survive
LEGO: Harry Potter
LEGO: Star Wars
Ace Combat
HAWX
Rainbow Six Siege
Sniper Elite
Just Cause 2
Guns of Icarus: Alliance

 
*Trans is a term used by someone whose gender indentity doesn't match that which they were assigned at birth. *Non-binary is a term used by someone who is not male or female. For more information you can check out: Gires http://www.gires.org.uk/ and Stonewall http://www.stonewall.org.uk/

Good luck Jayme. What games are you intending to play? Are these single or multiplayer? If you're flying at some point maybe we can come fly with you?

[Mike C (G-XTWM)]

Yes good luck from me as well, I'm sure you'll manage it.

No small undertaking Jayne, but one I will be more than happy to support as our son is trans. Good luck
