Check out our gaming for charity fundraiser tips from other Teenage Cancer Trust gamers:
- Take plenty of regular breaks from the computer - give your eyes a break away from the screen, at least for a few minutes every hour
- Stay hydrated - drink plenty of water
- Eat well - make sure you have some healthy snacks to eat throughout.
- Get up, stretch and move around – we advise every hour!
- Be sensible with your challenge length – if you’re going solo, you could split your tournament across a few days.
- If you’re not feeling well, stop the challenge – even if you’ve committed to more hours, stop the tournament and look after yourself.
Please pick any time and day that suits you.
Whether you’re a casual PC gamer, Switch gamer, a board game player or anything in between - you can still play games for good!
Gaming brings people together and when you’re a teenager going through cancer – gaming can mean so much more!
You don’t need to stream to get involved - get together with your mates to see how many board games you can get through in 24 hours, or choose your own challenge.
