Brownhills gamer prepares for 24-hour online fundraising marathon
A bipolar gamer is preparing for a 24 hour marathon live stream to raise money for Macmillan cancer support.
Liam Simmons, from Brownhills, will begin his marathon challenge on Wednesday with various online challenges every time he raises a certain amount of money.
Liam will be broadcasting live on video platform Twitch and has a special reason to raise money for Macmillan.
He said: "My grandad sadly passed away from cancer and the Macmillan nurses were amazing with us.
"I suffer from bipolar type 2 and recently have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease at a young age, I used to feel unlucky but there are people who have it much worse.
"So this is my goal to help these amazing people that also help others and hopefully make a difference. I will be doing a 24 hour live stream on Twitch for MacMillan, I will be one of their gaming heroes."
