Story

Hello! On October 15, 2023, I will be running my first ever half-marathon (gulp), to raise money for the incredible charity SpecialEffect. 

SpecialEffect works tirelessly to create ways for severely disabled people to use technology, to support their quality of life, mental health, social inclusion, and allowing them to simply have fun! SE have done particularly incredible work with allowing disabled people to play video games, using unique, adaptive, mind-blowing tech. Below this bio is a video showing the moments of joy they've brought to some people. Please watch it.

Video games have supported me throughout my life, offering escapism, entertainment, social highlights, and a sense of achievement. Everybody deserves the chance to feel those things through gaming, and SpecialEffect works incredibly hard to provide that. 

A half-marathon is a massive challenge for me, and I'll be training all year to be ready for it. But with your help, all of that training and running will be worth it, as we raise money and awaress for an amazing cause. Please donate as much as you can. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you! <3
