Story

After completing my first half marathon last year, I'm thrilled to be able to run in the GNR again, this time to raise money for Special Effect! 

For anyone not familiar with this wonderful charity, Special Effect work to enable people with all kinds of disabilities to access and enjoy video games - from computers that can be controlled by eye movement to modifying peripherals to be lighter and easier to use.  
This is provided at no cost to those who need it, so any donation you can make towards this charity is a huge help.

As well as a fundraising goal, I've got two more aims for this year's race:

1. Beat my time of 1 hour 47
2. Not get sunburned 

Thank you!
