We are a Glasgow based fundraising team, and we run boardgaming and videogaming marathons to raise money for good causes. This is our second year and last year we raised over £3,300

We will be playing games for 24 hours non stop (not as easy as it sounds!) on the 31st of May to raise money for Yorkhill Children's Charity. We want to help recognise the great things they do and support their hard working team.

This year, the event is Thanks Gaming 2015: Back to the Classics, where the theme is going back to the finest games ever made (that we didn't play). We'll be playing all the classics we missed first time round. Zelda? Goldeneye? Pokemon? Watch us experience the best games of all time, for the first time! Can we survive 24 hours, with no sleep, no rest and nothing but classic games?

Yorkhill Children’s Charity provides and supports excellence in paediatric, obstetric and neonatal healthcare enhancing the treatment, care and wellbeing of children and their families through The Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill and other hospital and community based services. This year the hospital will be moving from it's 100 year home in Yorkhill, to the new Glasgow South Hospital Campus. With millions of patients set to pass through its doors in the years to come, the new children’s hospital provides extraordinary opportunities for Yorkhill Children’s Charity. They have already committed more than £5 million of enhanced equipment and services to the new children’s hospital.

Here are just a few of the projects that have already been set up in the new hosiptal:

• A ground breaking, innovative project with Glasgow Science Centre to enhance many of the hospital’s waiting areas
• Enhanced medical equipment
• Pull down beds for parents and carers
• Enhanced play rooms on every ward
• Stimulating and engaging outdoor spaces for patients and visitors alike
• A state of the art sensory room
