At Quest4Change we
have been lucky enough to have individuals not only complete
the 26 gruelling miles, but also raise fantastic amounts of money for us!
This year we have runner spaces available ready to be filled!

fundraising advice, weekly training plans, Q4C t-shirt and project information
highlighting how your fundraising is making a difference. To register for a

Our Brighton Marathon Hall of Fame
We wanted to celebrate all our past runners achievements and their great marathon experience running for Quest4Change.
2010
We had four amazing individuals running for Quest4Change to kick start
the first ever marathon! The team consisted of: 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). All together they raised over £2,300 - an inspiring amount.
2011
The second Brighton Marathon was in the blazing sun and we had six
fantastic runners fundraising for our different projects. Katy
Lee, Dan Jewitt, Charlene Marriott, Matt Parkinson, Nikki Harman and Kevin Love
all took on the challenge of completing the marathon. Kevin finished the
marathon in an astonishing 3 hours 2 seconds, finishing in 42nd
place.The team also collectively raised
over £2,500!
2012
In 2012, we had 5 amazing individuals run for us
in 2012, who raised over £2000! The team consisted of: Gary Pons (3 hours 38
minutes), Dyfrig Dafis (4 hours 25 minutes), Heather Osborn (4 hours 39
minutes) and Steph and Eoin Dornan (4 hours 25 minutes). Steph and Eoin had
already trained and fundraised together for the Quest Three Peaks Challenge and
raised over £1095 – they really were the dream team!
2013
We were
lucky enough to have one of our marathon places filled a second time by Heather! Cath Kemp joined Heather in
the marathon and collectively they raised £745.
2014
In 2014 our
running place was filled by Rosie Thompson, a full time student, who was taking
on her first full marathon. Rosie volunteered in Tanzania with Quest during her
summer holidays and felt compelled to keep supporting Quest once she returned
to the UK.
When hearing about Quest4Change’s marathon places she thought this was the perfect opportunity to help! All of Rosie’s hard work and training paid off as she completed the marathon in 4 and half hours and raised £500!

2015
This April among the thousands of runners lining
up to start the marathon were Teddy Sparkes, Josh Sprey and Chris Lloyd who
were all supporting Quest4Change.
Teddy and Josh ran together completing the
marathon in 5 hours 7 minutes and Chris completed the marathon in 5 hours 18
minutes!
All three have been fundraising throughout their training and we are currently
in the process of counting the final amount.
Words of wisdom from Rosie
Still hesitating about signing up? We will leave you with some words of advice from our 2014 runner Rosie:
“If you have a vague notion that you might like to run a marathon for Quest then I’d say dust off that gym membership and do it: you do not have to be super athletic by any stretch of the imagination. A motivating cause and a little determination is really all you need!”
