Complete it for Beat 2023! - 12 hour charity stream!
Fundraising for Beat
Story
Hi there, and thanks for checking out my JustGiving page!
My name is Shaun and I will be doing a 12-Hour Gaming marathon challenge stream to raise money for the UK's eating disorder charity, Beat on Saturday 15th July 2023!
Starting at 10am and playing until 10pm, I will be attempting to complete as many Mega Man games as possible across the Mega Man Legacy Collection in 12 hours, all in efforts to raise money and awareness for this amazing charity.
My Twitch channel, RantDotOver, can be found by visiting http://www.twitch.tv/rantdotover
This is the 2nd year we've chosen to raise funds for this incredible cause following the massive success of last year's 12-hour charity stream which raised over £700 to support those in need of extra help regarding eating disorders.
Any further help we can provide would mean the world to me!

My story
The main reason I'm raising money for Beat is because I've had my own challenging experiences with eating disorders for the vast majority of my life.
From the very young age of 1, I grew up struggling to eat an incredibly large variety of foods. Meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs all fell by the wayside in favour for chips / fries, bread and snack foods and the idea of trying new foods was borderline phobia, triggering violent reactions and panic.
This continued for approximately 25 years of my life, until through support and guidance from professional experts and close family & friends, I've worked to overcome the vast majority of my eating disorder to now live with a much healthier diet.
The effects that eating disorders can have, both physically and mentally, can be incredibly difficult to go through and it's very challenging to understand where to turn for support. That's why I'm hoping to raise money for Beat, who provide dedicated support to people undergoing these potentially life-threatening challenges, as well as raise important awareness about eating disorders in the UK.
My goal is raise £400 to support the incredible work that Beat carry out and help provide even a fraction of support to someone who is undergoing something similar or worse to myself.
