Here's The newspost from Runescape:

What would we do without games to fill the empty hours? They’re not just fun, but can be educational as well, helping hone skills and, in some cases, develop empathy. Unfortunately, not everyone can crash into a beanbag at the end of the day, grab a tea and load up an MMO.
SpecialEffect brings the joys and perks of gaming to people with disabilities using everything from modified joysticks to eye-control technology. It’s a charity we’re both proud and humbled to work with, and we want you to get involved by partaking in arguably the most fun-packed event of the year: GameBlast 2018.
From 12pm UTC on 23 February, we’ll be hosting a 24-hour live stream in the Jagex offices complete with events, competitions and crazy challenges. There are plenty of ways you can get involved: we’ll be offering two bundles full of in-game goodies - the GameBlast 2018 bundle and the Relic bundle - 100% of the profits from which go directly to SpecialEffect. You can also get an exclusive LootScape reward just for tuning in! Want to donate no strings attached? No problem. Whatever your avenue, all we ask is that you take this opportunity to support SpecialEffect in their phenomenal work levelling the playing field.

£91k Raised over 24hours by Runescapers!! just amazing! So proud to be a part of such a brilliant set of people/gamers. Saw this post and thought I'd share, but whether it's a fiver or an insert coin tshirt bought it all adds up.
Edit: it's 100k now and still rising
Game shops are now doing a 24hr stream, so many games and businesses are involved in raising cash for Special Effect. Tom Cassell is from Pro Syndicate I believe
