Our Founder

Steven Bracewell, The Founder

"In March 2019, my life was changed forever, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of leukaemia called AML (Acute Myeloid Leukaemia).I was admitted into Bradford Royal Infirmary, where my battle would start and I would begin the fight for my life. Throughout my journey and the battle with this disease, I spent a lot of time in isolation and I have always had a great passion for video games since the age of 11 when I received my first computer which back then was a Commodore Plus 4. Computer and video games have always served as a release for me from everyday life and now I needed them more than before and not to feel disconnected from my online friends whilst receiving my treatment in hospital, video games also helped me feel as normal as I could, in-spite of my situation and kept me distracted from the harsh reality that I was facing."

​

Sadly after a battle of 4 and a half years Steven passed away in June 2023.
