Hello, I'm Satnam the CEO of Stormtrooper Beer. I've partnered with an amazing charity SpecialEffect to raise £5,000, which is the exact amount needed for a child to benefit from the BubbleBusters program.

SpecialEffect BubbleBusters service tackles long-term medical isolation through the use of small, friendly, home-controlled desktop robots that place the child’s eyes, ears and voice right back into the classroom and playground. It’s providing life-changing reconnections that overcome loneliness, reuniting friends and rekindle access to education. Find out more at https://www.specialeffect.org.uk/

In addition to the Half Marathon we have already had a launch event which raised over £1000. It's amazing how generous people can be after a few free beers, food, raffle and a presentation from the SpecialEffect team. We had so much fun that we plan to do a second event this summer.

Our other big fundraiser will happen on the 4th of October when we get involved in One Special Day:
