Georgina's running a half marathon
Fundraising for The Sussex Beacon
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
Since I've been plagued by injury throughout training, I'm late setting up this page. In a week's time, I'll be running (and probably part walking!) a half-marathon in Brighton, and fundraising for the wonderful people at The Sussex Beacon.
They do amazing work helping those living with HIV in Sussex and they need over £2 million just to operate each year. Here's how your donation could help:
- £498 funds a vital package of care for a patient recovering from serious HIV related illnesses, including specialist 24-hour nursing care in the 10-bed inpatient unit
- £192 could run The Sussex Beacon for 1 hour
- £50 could fund a Physio or Occupational Therapy session for a patient
- £21 could fund a mindfulness session to help patients face the challenges of living with a chronic illness
Please donate what you can!
PS. Running this half is part of my training for the full marathon in April 2022, supporting The Sepsis Trust in memory of my Nan. If you can help them too, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/georgina-gorman
Lots of love, Georgina xx

Celebrate the Sussex Beacon's 30th Birthday by helping to reach our fundraising target of £30,000. With your support we can raise the money for a nurse's salary. This means that we can continue our vital specialist care for people living with HIV, who might be recovering from treatment, getting help with new medication or seeking support for their mental health. Whilst medication now means that people can live long and full lives after being diagnosed with HIV, many still suffer from secondary illnesses such as dementia or cancer, or face psychological effects from the stigma and isolation still associated with a positive diagnosis.Your support will be especially appreciated this year on The Sussex Beacons 30th Birthday, ensuring that we can provide specialist HIV care for many years still to come. Thank you!
