IShowSpeed gifts 100 Subs to young streamer fighting spinal muscular atrophy
CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed left a Twitch streamer in tears as he gifted him 100 subs.
In a heartwarming display of generosity, YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" gifted 100 Tier 1 Subs (valued at $499) to a fellow Twitch streamer, DeadlyPG, who is bravely navigating life with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
DeadlyPG, a UK-based streamer, uses his voice to control characters in Fortnite, showcasing incredible skill despite the challenges posed by SMA.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic disorder affecting muscle movement control, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. DeadlyPG's unique approach to gaming caught the attention of IShowSpeed after he beat the 18-year-old using just his voice.
