Rich, Joe and George have been inspired by our support of Rich\u2019s seven year-old daughter Lily, who recently discovered the magic of video games thanks to the loan of an adapted gaming setup devised by our specialist assessment team. \u201cLily has cerebral palsy in her right side, and hypermobility,\u201d said Rich. \u201cShe\u2019s always really wanted to play games but she\u2019s struggled with the controllers due to her restricted mobility.\u201dnHer parents got in touch to see if we could help, and our team arranged an initial video call assessment with the aim of exploring access to a Nintendo Switch in ways that would maximise her gaming abilities. Lily could hold and use the left side of a standard controller, so the team suggested remapping the buttons over to the left side and looked at ways of stabilising the controller for easier single-handed use. After discussing several options for joystick control they recommended a large joystick with a U-shaped topper that could potentially make the most of Lily\u2019s right arm movements. The adapted setup was sent to Lily for a trial loan period, and it\u2019s proving to be a real hit.n\u201cIt\u2019s enabling Lily to join in with games, which she\u2019s so happy about. We can\u2019t thank SpecialEffect enough and hope to raise lots of money for them,\u201d said Rich.nThe West Highland Waterboys &#8211; that\u2019s the intrepid walking trio \u2013 will be ditching all means of technology for their walk. \u201cWe\u2019re all guilty of taking advantage of technology and wouldn\u2019t go without it but we never stop to think how fortunate we are to have it,\u201d Joe wrote on their JustGiving page. \u201c[It\u2019s why we\u2019re] raising funds for SpecialEffect\u2026 these guys cover it all to bring smiles to the faces of thousands every year.\u201dnThe West Highland Way is a linear long-distance route in Scotland that winds through remote terrain and includes hill climbs that start north of Glasgow and finish in Fort William. It\u2019s definitely no stroll in the park at any time of year and we simply can\u2019t thank the three friends enough for taking it on.nYou can support the West Highland Waterboys Challenge here.
