An employee of Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck is running the Brighton Marathon to raise much-needed funds for the service.
Adam Spong, Advice Session Supervisor at Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck, will be running his first ever marathon on the 7th April in Brighton with monies raised going towards the general running costs of the service.
Adam has completed two half marathons in 2023 and wants to push himself further mentally and physically to complete a full marathon.
Adam said: “I will be attempting to run my first marathon in Brighton raising money for Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck. I’ve been lucky enough to have been a part of this amazing charity for eight years having started as a volunteer whilst at university. We provide much needed advice and support for local people and I see daily the difference the charity makes to people’s lives.”
Adam continues: “We are seeing an ever-increasing demand in our service and with future funding not guaranteed, I really would welcome any support. All donations will go towards helping others who are in need and who live in our local community.”
Adam is running with two other people who have connections with Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck. To find out more including how to donate visit our website www.edpcitizensadvice.org.uk/fundraising or click on the QR code.
