A TEAM of runners from a Lewes accounting company has raised £3,500 to support the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation.
The group, who call themselves the KJ Leopards, completed the Brighton Half Marathon to support the foundation’s initiatives.
The team of eight are employees of Knill James who took part in the gruelling 13.1 mile run last month after spending months to prepare for this race.
George Clayson, Business Advisory Director at Knill James and leader of the KJ Leopards, said: “Our support for the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation reflects the firm’s values of community engagement and commitment to making a positive difference.
“We extend our thanks to everyone who cheered us on and donated.”
The Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation uses football to inspire, support and empower people.
The funds that KJ Leopards raised will contribute towards the foundation’s programmes that promote health and wellbeing, education and supporting people from all backgrounds.
Lauren Ellis, Fundraising Manager at Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation added: “We are always so humbled by peoples’ efforts to raise money for us here at the Foundation.
“George and his incredible team of KJ Leopards went above and beyond for us by running the half marathon, we’re hugely grateful for both their physical and fundraising achievements!”
