Cllr Freebody will be raising cash for East Sussex Association of Blind and Partially Sighted People (ESAB).
This is the first time that Cllr Freebody has ever enter such an event.
He said, “I am looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.
“I have been training for several months and it’s become quite addictive.
“I wanted to raise some money for charity at the same time and I am honoured to run for the ESAB which has helped thousands of people regain their independence, confidence and wellbeing, and I hope that people will help me to raise money for such a great cause”
Daniel Brookbank, CEO of ESAB, is delighted that Tony is helping to raise money for them. “I asked Tony via Twitter if he would help and he came back to me straight away,” he said.
