STAFF from an accountancy firm are swapping calculators for running shoes to take part in the Darlington Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Over the past 20 years, more than eight million people have taken part in the Race for Life events across the country, raising over £547m to fund the charity’s life-saving work.
The Clive Owen team has set a target to raise at least £2,000. Many members of the team have a personal reason for supporting Cancer Research and completing the event, particularly after the recent diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer of a valued colleague.
Angus Allan, corporate finance partner at Clive Owen LLP, said: “I am very proud to be taking part in the RFL with the team this year, this is the first year that males have been allowed to take part.
“Part of the ethos of Clive Owen LLP, is to engage with local good causes and raise money for charities that are close to our heart and this is another great example."
