The team of five ran for three different charities and have raised £2,500.

A team of five from the Hove and Portslade branches of Mishon Mackay estate agents completed the half marathon for three causes – Paws2Rescue, The Snowdrop Trust and Adur Special Needs Project.

Sue Vila chose the Adur Special Needs Project because her daughter Savannah has autism and attends weekend session at the charity. Sue, who works at the Hove office in Church Road, finished in 2 hours, 16 minutes and 5 seconds, the same time as animal-lover Hove colleague Amy Newman, who picked out the Paws2Rescue charity for support.

Damien, Mishon Mackay branch manager, said: “I’m so proud of our team for coming together and running for such fantastic causes. The run was great until I turned at the lagoon to come back to Brighton and the wind just hit me. Those last three miles were awful! Aside from that, it was a great day and there was an amazing turn out.”

Danielle Snell said: “I am so glad that I signed up for the Brighton Half Marathon, but it was so challenging training for it! There was such a buzz on the day and as hard it was, it was an amazing feeling crossing the finish line with loved ones watching! Plus, raising just over £1,000 The Sussex Snowdrop Trust is something I am truly proud of.”
