I have been fortunate to live opposite a nature reserve maintained by Sussex Wildlife Trust for nearly six years, and I am always amazed at the hard work their volunteers put in to make sure that it remains a place where wildlife and nature can thrive.

For this reason I have chosen to fundraise for the charity by attempting to run the Brighton Marathon on the 12th April 2026.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude in advance for any donations — big or small! — made to such a brilliant charity.

Sussex Wildlife Trust is a conservation charity for everyone who cares about nature in Sussex. We focus on protecting the wonderfully rich natural life that is found across our towns, countryside and coast.

By working alongside local people we create opportunities for us all to connect with nature, and for nature to thrive in even the most unlikely places. Together we can make sure that future generations living in Sussex will be able to enjoy the sense of wonder and well-being that nature offers.

Together we can make Sussex life richer.
