Harrogate nurse to raise money through 24-hour gameathon
A Harrogate nurse has pledged to game non-stop for 24 hours to raise money for Medecins Sans Frontieres, a charity also known as Doctors Without Borders.
Andy Masters will start his gameathon at 10am next Saturday, February 5, and hopes to raise £1,000 for the medical charity.
Mr Masters has worked as a nurse for 30 years and began working at Harrogate District Hospital seven years ago.
The charity offers medical assistance in areas affected by conflict, epidemics and natural disasters. Mr Masters said he's known doctors who have worked with the charity and seen first hand how necessary its help is.
Mr Masters said:
