Gameblast 15 Supports SpecialEffect With Weekend Gaming Marathon

Over 50 companies from the gaming industry are working together this weekend to do a 48 hour gaming marathon in aid of Special Effect – a company who transform the lives of gamers with disabilities by supporting them with hardware and software that has been specially tailored to suit their needs. I don’t think anything I can say will do a better job explaining who they are than this video.

The kickoff event is a global RuneScape 24 hour event by Jagex. Last year, this made over £50,000 for SpecialEffect which is amazing, hopefully they will be able to beat that this year with your help. Their stream starts at 12pm GMT on Friday at http://www.twitch.tv/specialeffectteam

Then we will see GameBlastLIVE which is a 24 hr stream that will invilve gamers, giveaways and updates on what other teams around the world are doing to help fundraise. The livestream starts at 10am on Saturday and can be seen here.

And to finish GAME are chipping in, and will be featuring GameBlast in their stores across the UK. They’re also partnering with Ginx for a 24 hour gaming spectacular that you can watch from 6pm Friday at http://gameblast.game.co.uk or www.twitch.tv/GinxTV

Donations are accepted at JustGiving.

Please do put your hands in your pocket for this amazing charity. I have personally seen the work that they do and it is amazing.
