Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page!I am running The Sussex Beacon Relay at The Grand Brighton Half Marathon 2020 to raise vital funds for The Sussex Beacon, a Brighton based charity providing specialist care and support for people living with HIV. Over 106,000 people live with HIV in the UK. With daily medication people living with HIV can lead normal lives, however many suffer with psychological effects and HIV-related illnesses, such as cancer and dementia. The complex combination of HIV and related illnesses require specialist treatment. Brighton has the 2nd highest HIV prevalence in the UK, and access to specialist care and support is vital. With a 10-bed inpatient unit, The Sussex Beacon provides 24 hour medical and psychological care to people struggling with a new diagnosis; starting new medication; recovering from treatment, as well as family services and end of life care. Most of all, it provides a safe, comfortable place for those who need our care and support.
