Choose your challenge
The event runs across the month. You choose how much of it to take on: you could do a gaming marathon, or set your own challenge entirely. It doesn’t need to be done in one sitting, break it up however suits you. We’d rather you paced yourself sensibly and took regular breaks than pushed through in one go.
Ways to raise money
- Get sponsored per hour, or ask for a flat donation
- Stream on Twitch, YouTube or TikTok and fundraise live
- Enter as a team of up to six and combine your total
- Set your own donation challenges for viewers or sponsors
