On the 25th of June, 2021, I lost a dear friend. I lived with him many years in the town in Ireland where I went to college. We both ended up going our separate ways in life, but we stayed in touch quite regularly. We were the best of friends, at a time in our lives when we both really needed one...

The news of his passing shook me. I'm still feeling affected by it if i'm honest. Under different circumstances, I would have been able to attend his memorial service, but I feel obliged to do something to honour him. As I am a part time streamer, I hit upon the idea of perhaps doing a charity stream in order to raise some money to give to his family in order to create a lasting memorial that befits such an amazing soul, that the world is sadly now without.

My closest friends in the streaming world have decided to back me in this effort, and so, the idea of #Games4Greg was born. Me and my friends around the whole world shall do a continuous 24 hour stream, passing the torch from one to another, as the spirit of Greg travels around the planet, stopping off in many virtual worlds. My friends have kindly given their time for this, and will encourage their followers and supporters, in lieu of accepting personal donations so richly deserved, to contribute any tips, bits or stars instead to this cause.

I am humbled by their generosity.

I introduced Greg many years ago to gaming, and he quickly fell in love with the worlds of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. When we were burgled, the first things we had to replace were the TV and PS2, just so we could play those games and live those adventures all over again. We even had a mascot named after one of the characters...

I hope to share many more memories throughout the Charity Stream #Games4Greg. I hope you can support me in this cause. Thank you.
