I was told about Game for GBSS by my Dad one day, and I then decided to participate in it and spend a day gaming to help raise money for GBSS. I chose to do this because my older sister Teresa died when she was just twelve hours old because of GBS, and I know how much this charity has helped my parents and others coping with loss and also to help raise awareness. I am happy that the money raised can go towards helping prevent other tragedies for families and to help raise awareness, and thank you to all of my sponsors.
