Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>"Mine's a double"</strong></span></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page!</p> <p>I'm running the Brighton AND London marathons this year, on consecutive weekends April 15th and 22nd, to raise funds for <a title="The Sussex Beacon" href="http://www.sussexbeacon.org.uk">The Sussex Beacon</a>.</p> <p>The Sussex Beacon is a clinical care centre for men and women living with HIV/AIDS. They're based in Brighton, Sussex and have a ten bed Inpatient Unit as well as Outpatient Services. They do some amazing work but need funds to keep that going, so <strong>please </strong>sponsor me anything you can spare.</p> <p>Don't be put off if someone else has sponsored &pound;5 before you and you were planning to go in with &pound;1 (I hate it when I'm donating and that happens!) - <span style="text-decoration: underline;">every donation really counts </span>and it all adds up!</p> <p>In fact, I'll love you forever for your &pound;1 !!</p> <p>... or make it &pound;2 and I'll stop pestering you with the love thing after a few weeks ... make it &pound;5 and I'll back right off - some will prefer this option.</p> <p>(Mum you have to sponsor me more than &pound;1, that suggestion is only for friends and family who are not-my-Mum ;))</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Frequently Asked Questions</span></p> <p><strong>No</strong>, I haven't done 2 marathons on consecutive weekends before... in fact I've only done one marathon in my life.<br><strong>Yes</strong>, it was peer pressure and ego that got me into this mess.<br><strong>Hmmm, how rude</strong>, 1 metre, 64 and a half centimetres actually</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Alex x</p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to <strong>The Sussex Beacon </strong>and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
