A cheque for £1,582 was presented to the Royal British Legion by Paul Holdaway of Bexhill Runners at Lifestyle gym.

The cheque was handed over to Helen Corrigan and Caroline Shepherd who are RBL community fundraisers for Sussex.

Helen commented: "This is absolutely fantastic - we're delighted - and many thanks to everyone from Bexhill Runners who participated in the public half-marathon in November for their very generous support."

This was the second year Bexhill Runners had held the event on Remembrance Sunday having made the decision to raise money specifically for the ex-forces charity.

Paul said: "Everyone gives their time and effort freely so we can raise money for local charities, and it is nice to support the local Royal British Legion and do something for them. I think it is close to everyone...We had one lady running in memory of her husband who died recently in Afghanistan - she ran wearing one of his t-shirts. It gets personal."
