Jenni Howard, partner in the firm’s private client team, will be running 77 miles from Coventry to Oxford with seven friends, hoping to raise £2000 for the charity which specialises in giving care, support and advice to dementia sufferers and their families.

"We chose to raise money for The Clive Project after one of my fellow runner’s friends and family had been given such great support and practical help with a family member coping with this disease. We just felt compelled to help them."

The group of eight friends who will aim to complete the 77 miles in seven days, tackling two hours of running a day. Jenni has been training with two of the runners. "We are currently training six days a week with one 11-13 mile run at least once a week. By the time we start the 77 miles we will have clocked up over 2000 miles between the three of us since we started training in March.

"My colleagues have been really supportive. Morgan Cole always encourages employees who want to take part in sporting activities and this has been no exception."

Jenni is hoping to run a further 26 miles in October. "After we have completed the Coventry to Oxford run we want to keep focussed and so we will be training for the Amsterdam Marathon."
