Hello! My name is Erica and I'm running the Hastings Half Marathon for Hastings Online Times – aka HOT! Hastings Online Times was set up in 2009 and is an online Citizen Journalist newspaper.

I’ve been involved with HOT since it started, and one of the things I love about it is that it is a welcoming and inclusive community news source.

I want to fundraise for HOT so we can reach out to new people and train them up to write articles – and I want to help spread the HOT word across Hastings, Bexhill, Battle and Rye. After 17 years, it’s time HOT had a facelift, and if you can sponsor me to run the Hastings Half, I will support HOT to do more outreach and training.

You can read more in my article on Hastings Online Times.

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me so far – please do spread the word. And if you would like to know more about how you can write articles for Hastings Online Times, please contact me.
