Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Starting from November 23, I aim to run at least 5 km every day for 365 days to raise money and awareness for the wonderful SpecialEffect, a charity that aims to level the playing field for gamers with physical disabilities. 

As an ambassador for the charity. I've seen how our support is benefitting people directly during the challenges of COVID-19.

SpecialEffect enables severely disabled people to use technology in any way possible – using 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/ friends, to be included and not left out. This can hugely benefit mental well-being, self-esteem and quality of life - all while providing much needed FUN!

Have a look at SpecialEffect's news page to see how they are positively changing people's lives.

I'm still a relative newcomer to the running world, having caught the bug during last year's first lockdown.  I'm not aiming for many targets other than to stay fit and raise awareness.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Feel free to follow my adventures on Instagram and Strava.
