Story

Karen is running her first ever half marathon (and Shaun is going for the hat-trick) to raise money for the Sussex Beacon. We have been training hard for the past few months and are aiming to finish the course in around 2 hours, but just finishing will feel like a huge achievement! 

Please donate anything you can. Any amount, however large or small would be a huge help and very gratefully received, to help us reach our fundraising target. Big love, The Nickless' xx

This year we would like to raise the salary of a nurse for the Sussex Beacon, to continue providing specialist care and support for people living with HIV, either recovering from medical treatment, getting help with new medication or seeking mental health support.Brighton has the second highest HIV prevalence in the UK and access to specialist care and support is vital. Daily medication now means people can live well with HIV however, many suffer with secondary illnesses such as cancer or dementia, or the psychological effects from having been subjected to HIV stigma, social isolation and prejudice.Supporting our campaign to raise the salary of a nurse will help us continue providing specialist HIV care for the most vulnerable in Brighton and Sussex. Thank you!
