Sean runs the Brighton marathon

Hi Everyone, My name's Sean and last year I decided to challenge myself to do something I thought I could never achieve… Run a marathon! I have always been into sports playing football at a young age but as I got older I was playing less and less, this marathon is a great way to get me back into shape and possibly is a gateway into more running in the future.
84 miles, 84 years

Over 21 days, at the fabulous age of 84, Ann Lovelace will be tackling 84 miles around the semi-rural village of Tatsfield. The route is on rough, unmade track and includes a very steep climb that few people tackle. Ann is doing this to raise money for the Orpheus Centre Emergency Appeal. Will you sponsor her?
