My Story

Hi, my name is Timmy. Last June I started running for the very first time. What began as a personal challenge has quickly turned into something much bigger, and in March I’ll be taking on my first ever half marathon.

As a new runner, this is well outside my comfort zone — but I wanted this challenge to have real meaning. That’s why I decided to run with a purpose and support a small local charity, the Sussex MS Centre.

I chose the Sussex MS Centre because they do incredible work for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) across Sussex. The Centre provides specialist physiotherapy, exercise classes, counselling, wellbeing therapies, and practical support to help people manage their symptoms and maintain independence and quality of life. Many of these services go beyond what’s available on the NHS, and the Centre relies heavily on donations and fundraising to continue supporting those who need it most.

Running my first half marathon is a huge milestone for me, and knowing that every mile can help make a difference is what keeps me motivated. By supporting this run, you’re not just helping me reach the finish line — you’re helping the Sussex MS Centre continue their vital work within our local community.

Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me and to everyone supported by the Sussex MS Centre.

Thank you so much for your encouragement, generosity, and support 🧡
