The Sleeping Angels Gameathon
I’ve committed to gaming for good for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.
Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.
Thank you.
£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.
£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.
£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.
£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

The Plan
Thursday 16th AprFrom the Emirates to Eternity – My FC 26 Arsenal Career Mode Build for the Sands Gaming for Good Challenge
Hey everyone!
I’m beyond excited to announce that I’m officially taking part in Sands’ Gaming for Good challenge – and I’m doing it the only way I know how: by managing Arsenal in EA Sports FC 26 Career Mode.
If you’re not familiar with Sands, they’re the UK’s leading baby loss charity. They support families through the unimaginable pain of stillbirth, neonatal death, and miscarriage, while funding research to help prevent future losses. Every penny raised goes straight to real families who need it most. Gaming for Good lets us turn our favourite hobby into something that genuinely changes lives – and I couldn’t think of a better way to get involved than building the ultimate Arsenal dynasty on the virtual pitch.
So what’s the plan with this Arsenal build?
I’m going full “Arsenal DNA” in Career Mode. Starting in the 2025/26 season, the brief is simple but ambitious:
• Youth-first philosophy – Hale End is the heartbeat of Arsenal. I’m promoting every wonderkid with potential 87+ and helping them grow in to future first team stars.
• Smart, realistic transfers – No ridiculous chequebook spending. We’re hunting value in the Championship, Scandinavia, and South America while keeping the wage bill sensible.
• Tactical identity – High-pressing, fluid 4-3-3 (or the occasional 4-2-3-1) that mirrors Mikel Arteta’s real-life vision but with a few cheeky twists I’ve cooked up in the tactics menu.
• Long-term glory – The ultimate goal? Domestic and European domination within 5 seasons, while keeping the club’s ethos intact. No selling the soul for short-term success.
I’ll be documenting every window, every big result, and every heartbreaking (or heroic) youth promotion right here. Expect regular updates, tactical deep-dives, squad reveal videos, and maybe even some live Career Mode sessions if the schedule allows.
Why am I doing this? Because football and gaming have always been my escape – and now they can be someone else’s lifeline. Every like, share, and donation means more counselling sessions, more research, and more families feeling supported when they need it most.
If you’re an Arsenal fan, an FC 26 addict, or you just believe in doing good through what you love, I’d be honoured if you joined the ride. Head over to my fundraising page (link below) and drop whatever you can – even £5 buys a bereaved parent a cup of tea and a listening ear at the most difficult time of their life.
Let’s make this the most memorable Arsenal save in FC 26 history… for the best reason imaginable.
Up the Gunners. ❤️
Up the challenge.
