One of the best ways to raise money whilst achieving a lifetime ambition is by doing a marathon - and where better than the brilliant seaside city of Brighton?
Read all about it and watch a video of the course here.
What are you doing 15th April?

Running those 26 miles is going to be thirsty work... so how do you fancy showing your support for the Q4C runners on the day by helping man the Quest drinks station?
We're looking for volunteers to hand out water, pick up empty bottles and cheer on the thousands of runners. For anyone who hasn't been at Brighton Marathon before, it has a fantastic atmosphere, and being a part of the UK's "Second Marathon" makes it all the more special.
If you'd like to get involved, just click on this link and complete your details to confirm your participation.
Make sure you type in the password QUEST and confirm you are part of the QUEST OVERSEAS team when they ask. We need 40 volunteers in total so please do spread the word!

Past Successes
April 10th 2011 saw the second Brighton Marathon in the blazing sun, and we had six brilliant runners raising money for our different projects. From left to right: Katy Lee, Dan Jewitt, Charlene Marriott, Matt Parkinson, Nikki Harman, and Kevin Love (finishing in an astonishing 3 hours 3 minutes!). So far they've raised over £2,200 and money's still coming in - so thanks for all your efforts guys! You can read all about how the day went and the causes they supported here.
Nikki Harman ran to raise money for child sponsorship at the Quest school in Villa Maria, raised a fantastic £841! To read more about the problems of Villa Maria and why we set up this school in the first place, click here.
2010 was the first ever Brighton Marathon. Four runners took up the 26.2 mile challenge in aid of Quest4Change: Tom Forrest (3 hours 15 minutes), Scott Osborn (5 hours 6 minutes), Paul Deaville (4 hours 26 minutes) and Steve Robinson (4 hours 50 minutes). Together they raised over £2,300 - an inspiring amount!
We greatly appreciate the tremendous effort made by all of our Marathon runners and would like to say a massive thank you to them and all their supporters.
