Story

Hello everyone!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be participating in the iconic London Marathon on 21 April, 2024. I am honored to be raising funds for the incredible charity, SpecialEffect!

SpecialEffect's mission is to enable people with physical disabilities to enjoy video games. By using cutting-edge technology and expertise, they adapt gaming devices and software to suit the unique abilities of each individual, providing them with a means to connect, have fun, and experience the joy of gaming alongside their friends and family.

Any donations will make a direct impact by helping to provide specialised equipment and ongoing support to those who need it most. Together, we can level the playing field and ensure that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, has the opportunity to enjoy the incredible world of gaming :)

I have set a fundraising goal of £2000 to support SpecialEffect's life-changing work. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and their families. SpecialEffect don't charge anything for their support, so every donation counts!

You can read more about the amazing work that SpecialEffect does here: https://www.specialeffect.org.uk/what-we-do/our-work 

I will be sharing updates throughout my training journey via my Instagram page, https://instagram.com/sprintshaun, including the highs, lows, and everything in between - so if you want a quick laugh at me struggling through a rigorous training plan, please feel free to check it out!

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for joining me on this incredible journey :)

-Shaun
