Story

I decided to delve into my insanity and sign up for Oxford Half Marathon. Considering I currently cannot complete a 5k without stopping, the challenge is somewhat daunting. Your support would mean so much because right now, I'm not sure how I'm going to get through it!!

But for such a special cause, I am determined to push through and raise important funds for SpecialEffect.

SpecialEffect are a charity that transforms the lives of people with physical challenges right across the world through the innovative use of technology. They're enabling inclusion and enjoyment by helping people to unlock the magic of video games to the best of their abilities, they're bringing communication, independence and hope for people in intensive care units with severe injuries, and they're using telepresent robots to reconnect medically isolated children with their education and friends.

You can follow my training on Strava if you want to!!

Thank you my lovely friends!!!
