On Friday 3rd October, I will be taking part in One Special Walk, a 26km walk from London Stadium to Wembley in aid of SpecialEffect.
I'm really pleased that EA is entering a team into One Special Walk as part of our title sponsorship! I'm less pleased that one of them is me...!
I've gotten to know SpecialEffect in my first few months at EA and - even though 26km is very far- their amazing work is very inspiring and I'm relishing the challenge.
SpecialEffect put fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games. There's no one-size-fits-all way of doing this, so their specialist assessment teams match or modify technology to create and loan truly personalised gaming control setups, enabling people of all ages to play the games they love to the very best of their abilities. They share everything they learn through advice and accessibility resources for players and developers across the globe, and all of our support is completely free of charge. They simply aim to do whatever it takes to raise the quality of life for as many disabled gamers as possible, all over the world!
