I'm back fundraising this year after taking a year off to look after my knees. :) I'm calling this my two halves challenge because I will be doing two different half marathon events while supporting the wonderful SpecialEffect. First, the round sheffield run and then my fave running event the Great North Run.

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.
