Since coming out publicly as HIV+, I have made it my personal commitment to raise awareness and money for HIV charities and causes.

I have signed up to run my second marathon this April, and am raising money to cover costs and donate to several HIV charities that have helped me.

Since contracting HIV, seven years ago, I have helped to raise over £2500 for the Terrence Higgins Trust, by taking part in their Big Shave Off project and by running the London Marathon.

I am now a proud volunteer at Terrence Higgins Trust and part of their Positive Voices Group.

Once I am trained I will become part of the team of speakers providing informative talks and education sessions to education, corporate, public sector and other audiences about my personal experiences of living with HIV.

As well as the Terrence Higgins Trust there have been many organisations that have helped me including,

British HIV association
National AIDS Trust
NAM Aids Map

And especially the NHS and 56 Dean Street.

I would like to continue to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust as well as other HIV charities, and have entered to run the Brighton Marathon on 2nd April, the day before my birthday.

After covering the costs to enter the race, as well as travel and accommodation, I will divide the money I raise across the various charities.

If you can support me, I would appreciate any contribution.

Living with HIV+ is not easy for anyone, but these charities were there for me.

Whether you admire my courage for speaking out about living with HIV, or whether you would like to get me something for my birthday, please contribute to this fund, so that I can raise as much money as I can for these charities.

“Coming out” as HIV+ was incredibly scary. But the support of my friends and family and charities including the Terrence Higgins Trust.
