To thank the local hospitals, he staged a day-long gaming stream under his gaming name, MadMedic Gaming, in February.

People could watch the game play and donate as well.
James said: “We had a target of £250. We smashed it with £1,143.49.”
Having spoken to the teams in intensive care he has delivered two hampers loaded with goodies to the ICUs at Boston and Lincoln, as well as four local ambulance stations at Boston, Sleaford, Grantham and Lincoln, which he visited last week, as well as Lincolnshire Ambulance Control Room.
