SSCF newsletter - Issue 20 - January 2010
Our team for the Brighton Marathon on 18th April 2010
A team of 10 runners have entered the Brighton Marathon on behalf of the Sussex Stroke and Circulation Fund, lead by Vascular Scientist, Tom Hopkins. This brand new, long awaited, event will take place on Sunday the 18th of April. Tom, who is a key member of the Vascular Assessment Unit Team, has persuaded his family and friends to join him for the 26 mile run.
If you would like to sponsor Tom or any of the other SSCF runners, please contact us for a sponsorship form and a stamped addressed envelope to return it in.
Do you have somewhere you could display a poster for us, e.g. local church hall, local shops, place of work? Let us know and we will send you as many as you need.
