I’m Elliot, Partnerships Manager at 1minus1 and non-runner turned runner as of this year and it’s all for an amazing cause. 🏃

In September I’m going to be taking on The Great North Run’s Half Marathon to raise funds for the amazing games charity, SpecialEffect!

Prior to this year, I’d never ran further than 5miles but I’m ready to take on the challenge for a great cause as we take on the half marathon. I’ve set myself an ambitious target to beat 1:55 so wish me luck, show your support and please donate what you can! 🙏🏽

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.
