We'd like to congratulate Christine Laurence, our Chair of Trustees.  She ran the Brighton Marathon yesterday in an amazing 4 hours 48 minutes!  She said the first 10 miles were easy, it was the rest that was tough!

Christine was running to raise money for our community space which we are opening later this year, primarily for disabled people, in Vernon Gardens, near the Seven Dials, Hove, called ‘Space For Change’.  It will be fully accessible in its environment and its technology and will be used by local disabled people and organisations.  All money raised from Christine's run will go towards computers, together with hardware and software to make them fully accessible and for fully accessible equipment to make this community space comfortable and welcoming.  So far, she has raised over £200 in sponsorship.

It's not too late to support this project by sponsoring Christine.  You can send a cheque made payable to B&H Federation of Disabled People and post to our Freepost address: Brighton & Hove Federation of Disabled People, Freepost SEA 10164, Hove BN3 5PA marked ‘Christine’. Or you can donate online on her JustGiving page, the link is http://www.justgiving.com/Christine-Laurence.

I'm sure you'll join us at the FED in congratulating and saying many thanks to Christine.
