In memory of Sir Terry Pratchett (and also my own grandmother who suffered from Alzhimer's before she passed a year ago) we are going to be streaming a live session of Dungeons & Dragons set in Ankh Morpork from the Discworld novels.
The stream will broadcast live on www.twitch.tv/avatarobi, and later be available on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/AvatarObi as well as on Spotify and all major podcast streaming services.
During the fundraiser all those who donate to help support the fundraiser will have their names shown live on the stream!
I have chosen to raise money for RICE to help with their research into Alzhimer's as it's the charity Terry's own family donated to when he passed away and we would like to help honor his wishes to help find a way to fight back against this illness.
More than 850,000 people have dementia in the UK, with numbers set to rise to over 1 million by 2025. This will soar to 2 million by 2051. However, there is currently no cure, and no new drugs have been licensed to treat the disease since 2002.
RICE is an internationally renowned charity which provides services and support for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. We undertake vital research to learn more about the ageing process, find new and better treatments, and improve the quality of life for older people.
