Story

On the 13th of October we will be running our first half marathon and doing so in support of SpecialEffect.

SpecialEffect enables people with physical disabilities to use technology in any way possible, utilising 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 and friends, to be includes and not left out. This can hugely benefit mental well-being, self-esteem and quality of life.

They specialise in Eye Gaze technology. Imagine: You wake up after an accident. You can’t move anything except your eyes. You can’t speak. Through eye-movement alone, SpecialEffect help people to operate a computer so they can communicate and regain a little independence, giving them a voice when they don’t have one of their own.

We understand that times are tough for many, and we appreciate any contribution!

Thank you!

James & Jake
