Comprising eight team members from across the firm, the running group known as the KJ Leopards took part in the 13.1-mile race on Sunday 25^th February. Their aim was to make a positive impact on the community by supporting the fantastic initiatives of the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation.

"We are incredibly proud of the team for their dedication and perseverance in taking on the challenge of the Brighton Half Marathon and for all their fundraising efforts," said George Clayson, Business Advisory Director at Knill James and leader of the KJ Leopards. "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 and Hove Albion Foundation aims to use the power of football to inspire, support, and empower individuals.
