24 hour gaming marathon supports Edinburgh Sick Kids

September 13, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

24 hours of gaming is pretty hardcore – especially, as this brave fellow does, you start to pledge your own money whenever you die in one of the horror games you’ll be attempting to play.

The money supports the Sick Kids Friends Foundation which was set up in 1992 to support the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. The hospital takes care of over 100,000 children, from all over the East of Scotland, every year. It is a registered Scottish Charity, SC020862, and raises around £1.5 million each year to help with extra comforts, family-friendly facilities, extra medical equipment, extra support for care in the community as well as funding for extra training and research.
