| This is the first of four games recorded during Andy's six-hour turn as part of the Spring 2020 Gamers vs. MS, a 168-hour marathon streaming relay that raised CA$33,050 for the MS Society of Canada between March 28 and April 4, 2020. In Andy's words: "multiple sclerosis is a lifelong autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It can affect everyone differently, but its main symptoms include extreme fatigue, lack of coordination, weakness tingling, vision problems, and much more. It often strikes between 15 and 40, the prime life-building years of many. Canada has some of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis worldwide, with an estimated 1 in 385 Canadians living with the disease. The funds raised during this relay go towards programs and services for those affected by MS, and research geared towards ending MS." | |
