This run is part of her fundraising on behalf of local HIV charity, the Sussex Beacon, which will culminate in Erica running the London Marathon for the charity on April 27, 2025.
Erica said: “I guess running has always been in my blood. As a teen I was actually quite good (but that’s a story for another day) Returning to it some 30 years later during the pandemic, I trained from Couch to Ultra running my first 100km race in Oct 2021 – it was brutal, but I absolutely loved it!
“Of course, the London Marathon is the dream for any runner, but after 16 years of rejection in the ballot I had all but given up! Imagine my delight then, when the team at the Sussex Beacon contacted me and offered one of their few precious places.
“Not only do I have the chance to achieve another running challenge, but it means I can use this amazing opportunity to remember my friend Jason Sutton (Miss Jason) and raise funds for the incredible cause that meant so much to him.”
