Story
Every year, a group of us from the University of Sussex Women’s Football Club and our family members run the Brighton Half Marathon in efforts to raise money for a great cause.
This year on the 27th of June 2021, I’ll be running the half with my dad, while raising money for Grassroots, a charity chosen by the family of our third team goalkeeper, Charlotte Swift, who passed away in April 2020.
In honour of Charlotte’s work for mental health charities, we hope that you can help in continuing her legacy by supporting us. Any donation is very much appreciated and will help us in helping this brilliant cause. Thank you so much!
