Jon Sward is raising money for Friends of Lewes Victoria Hospital

Team: Team FOLVH BHM26 - Friends of Lewes Victoria Hospital.

The Altra Brighton Half Marathon 2026 · 1 March 2026 ·

The Friends of Lewes Victoria Hospital (FOLVH) raise funds to support NHS services to deliver excellent care in the community. We have raised more than £6 million over the last fifty years. In the last five years, we have donated over £800,000 to improve equipment and facilities at the hospital.

Story

Friends of Lewes Victoria Hospital (FOLVH) have a great team of runners all looking forward to represent the charity at Brighton Half Marathon on the morning of Sunday 1st March 2026.

Our team include: Richard, Florence, James, Jon and Helen all running to raise funds for Lewes Victoria Hospital to provide equipment to help the staff deliver the best diagnosis, treatment and care to people in this community. Please do add your sponsor donation to this page.

Our runners are proud to run for this charity and grateful for your sponsoring gift! Thank you very much.

The money raised will be spent on equipment. For a record of the equipment purchased recently, see www.folvh.org/funded-projects. This includes equipment used for Swift Diagnostics such as the new X-ray equipment, DEXA and Ultrasound scanners. Together, these provide state of the art diagnostics for the community in and around Lewes. Also, equipment for the Surgical Unit including an Ophthalmology chair, a Diathermy unit and Surgical trolley beds.

Each runner is aiming to raise at least £300 in sponsorship and the good news is that the team is off to a flying start as Richard Bailey has already donated £300 and that amount has been matched by his company so we are pleased with this strong launch. Having said that, it won’t show up on this page as it will be paid directly to the Treasurer of Friends of Lewes Victoria Hospital charity.

Thank you also to our wonderful volunteers that will be there to help on the day including our regular reliable helper who has got up at the crack of the dawn to help for three years in a row at the BHM runs now, Jane Sallis.

We all love this run in Brighton and thank the donors, the runners and the volunteers for supporting this important cause and also Brighton Half Marathon. Looking forward to the big day. Crossing fingers it will be sunny!
