This year Madeleine Voice is running the 2013 Brighton Marathon in memory of Nic Packwood, a much missed stalwart of the Campaign For the Protection of Rural England.

She'll be raising money for CPRE Sussex.

On the justgiving.com website Madeleine says: "I know that he would be so pleased that I have chosen this as my charity.... Please sponsor me to run the marathon so that I can raise money and do something to make Nic (Andrea and Holli) proud!" It's a brilliant thing to do and we're extremely proud to have her running on our behalf – and Nic's.

Please support her doing this fantastic – and tough – race. Donate here!
