Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After running at least 5km every day in December, I will be completing the EMF marathon on New Year's Eve to raise money and awareness for the wonderful Special Effect (https://www.specialeffect.org.uk/), a charity that aims to level the playing field for gamers with physical disabilities. 

SpecialEffect enables severely disabled people to use technology in any way possible – using whichever part(s) of their body that work best – by adapting tech to their individual needs. It’s so important they can join in with family/ friends, to be includes and not left out. This can hugely benefit mental well-being, self-esteem and quality of life -and much needed FUN!

Here are some video links that highlight the wonderful work of Special Effect.

I'm still a relative newcomer to the running world, having caught the bug during this year's lockdown.  I'm not setting myself too many targets other than to stay fit and raise money.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
