Macmillan Game Heroes: Stephen Alcock and Daniel Buono

By Steve Alcock

Not all heroes wear capes.

KBS Corporate Deal Executives Stephen Alcock and Daniel Buono are supporting Macmillan Cancer Support by participating in a sponsored gaming marathon on January 6 2024 (postponed from original date due to unforeseen circumstances).

As Macmillan Game Heroes, Stephen and Daniel will complete a challenging 24-hour gaming stream to support people living with cancer.

Launched as Game Changers in 2016, Game Heroes is a successful fundraising event which sees Macmillan engage with new supporters from the ever-growing gaming community.

Gamers can participate solo or as part of a team, creating a network of fundraisers across the streaming platform Twitch.

While Daniel will be participating for the first time, Stephen became a Game Hero in 2021, raising £850 for Macmillan.

Stephen said: “Once I heard the news that one of my friends’ family members had been diagnosed with cancer, I organised a Game Heroes stream with a target of raising as much money as possible. “Cancer is a struggle for too many of us and Macmillan expects 3.5 million people will be living with the disease by 2025. We have set a target to raise £1,000 to support Macmillan’s cause and the great work they do throughout the UK.”

The provisional stream schedule, starting at Saturday lunchtime, is:

12pm: Call of Duty Cold War (Gunfight Tournament)

4pm: Modern Warfare 3 (Multiplayer & Warzone)

11pm: For Honour (Multiplayer)

1am: Back 4 Blood (Campaign Run Through)

8am: Fall Guys (Multiplayer)

10am: MW3 (Multiplayer)
