Ben gives the thumbs up

Ben Bowden has raised more than £1,680 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital by taking on a 24-hour live-streaming challenge.

The 31-year-old software developer from Telford, made his way through a plethora of games, including Among Us, Warzone and PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG).

Ben said: “I’d never done any kind of fundraising before but gaming is right up my street and if I’m going to do it anyway, I’d love to use it to make a difference to those who need it most, especially after such a tough year.

“I had a great time playing and it was so humbling to see the donations rolling in.”
