That’s right! The rhinos, as well as myself, need your help!

I’ve agreed to run the London Marathon. All 26.3 miles of it. It’s a bit foolish of me really, but the good part is that I’m doing it for Save The Rhino, a charity that helps conserve endangered rhino species in Africa and Asia.

I wanted to support a deserving charity that would really benefit from any donations I can help raise. Despite having only five full time members of staff in the UK, it supports 15 conservation projects worldwide, and currently protects 126,000 km² of land in Africa to help keep the black rhino (of which only 4,240 remain) and other species from going extinct. For a charity of its size, it’s does an awful lot.

Any donation you can give – even just a few quid – would not only be a huge help towards paying my way for a marathon place, but will do a lot of good for charity as well.

If you are a UK tax payer (which is most of you, I’m sure) please remember to add Gift Aid on top. JustGiving accepts PayPal as well as most cards for quick and easy donations.

Thanks!

Hello gang! Long time not see. First of all, a quick apology for the lack of updates. Work and home life have taken their toll, even enough to quickly summarise my work efforts over the last few months. I’m also incredibly lazy.

However, things are changing. I’ve got some big plans for the coming weeks, which I should hopefully be able to reveal soon. One of which is the above post – that I’m running the London Marathon – as well as a full site makeover. Essentially the site will become more than just a glorified CV, where I will actually post other goings-on as well. Excitement!

So. Until then!

I’m proud to introduce the latest feature at Digital Spy’s gaming section - Level Up! It’s a blog dedicated to discussing the latest industry trends, posting screenshots and trailers, and to house the much-loved spheres of retro and indie gaming. It’s dead exciting, and I can’t wait to see where we go with it.

It’ll have daily updates (Monday-Friday) by me for the time being, so be sure to reward my hard work with comments. Comments are blog food, and Level Up is hungry! Enjoy.
