A 24-HOUR live gaming stream is getting underway this lunchtime in memory of lifelong City fan William Binns, who sadly passed away from bone cancer in 2015.
Fellow family member Tom runs a gaming channel over on Facebook, and decided he would have a go at the marathon event, along with others who were close to William, to raise money for Bone Cancer Research Trust.
👍 | Please support a 24-hour gaming livestream - which starts at midday today over on @Facebook - raising vital funds for @BCRT, following the passing of lifelong #BCAFC supporter William Binns in 2015.

"This charity is close to our hearts, in 2015 our family was devastated by the loss of William Binns after a heartbreaking battle with primary bone cancer (Ewing’s sarcoma)" #Teamwill.
