Sussex MS charity needs London Marathon runner
The Sussex MS Treatment Centre, based on Southwick Recreation Ground, in Southwick, has been granted a place in the marathon but so far has been unable to find anyone to fill the position.
Deputy manager Joanna Hedges said: “Our problem is, we will loose the charity place if we can not fill it by the new year.”

“It will be such a huge loss for us and our potential fund-raising next year if we can not find a runner,” said Joanna.
“We are trying every avenue to find someone who would be able to run and be a big fund-raiser for the charity.”
She said they were looking for a “very special charity champion” to run the marathon.
Anyone who thinks they would be able to run the marathon on behalf of the Sussex MS Treatment Centre can email [email protected] or 01273 594484.
