I had the pleasure of attending a Netflix event around the WoW documentary The Remarkable Life of Ibelin last year—one that was attended by folks from Muscular Dystrophy UK, a charity that helps fund research into the kinds of muscle-wasting conditions that impact not just Ibelin's late player, Mats Steen, but many disabled gamers the world over.
Steen's journey, as told through the documentary, has already helped raise $2 million in conjunction with Blizzard. But it's also inspired Muscular Dystrophy UK to walk a similar path, using videogames as a means to not only raise money for those with muscle wasting conditions, but also empower them to take part in the fundraising themselves.
