When I signed up to run the Brighton half marathon in 2021, and got a late entry by running for The Sussex Beacon, I could never have imagined how important this incredible charity would become to me. Well, fast forward 3 years, 11 marathons and many half marathons later, I am so proud and lucky to get the chance to don the Team Beacon running shirt again with 9 marathons on my schedule between October 2024 and May 2025.

The Sussex Beacon provides specialist care and support for people living with HIV, and having visited in 2023, I know how vital their work is, and how critical it is that this support continues with the help of donations.

I make no apologies for using a phrase from a previous JustGiving page, because "if the Beacon's support won't stop, then I won't stop running", and therefore I'm taking on the following marathons in late 2024 and early 2025. Every step of those 26.2 miles (x 9) will be just that little bit easier if I know that someone living with HIV has received the support they need, so please give whatever you can.

6/10/24 - Chester; 13/10/24 - Chelmsford; 23/11/24 - Battersea Park; 9/2/25 - Goodwood; 16/3/25 - Great Welsh Marathon; 6/4/25 - Brighton; 27/4/25 - London; 5/5/25 - Milton Keynes; 11/5/25 - Leeds.
