I thought I'd take the chance to raise money for a local charity that deserves some extra attention. I'll be training and running the Brighton Half Marathon (2018) for Rise UK who support Brighton, Hove and Sussex with support and counselling for those affected by domestic abuse. 

I'll be running this alongside my friend Liam Hawks who is also raising money for Rise UK. Expect the excessive consumption of oats + 'nanas, and an abundance of (potentially placebo/overpriced) superfood powders.

I'd really appreciate it if friends could chip in to help support this important local charity.

Rise UK assist 1200 families a year, providing refuge accommodation, helplines, legal and financial advice, counselling, special help for children and young people as well as specialist support for LGB&T. Extra funding will enable the charity to provide greater help to the families that they already work alongside, as well as expand their reach further to help other vulnerable people in need.
