London Frontrunners, as organisers of the 2011 Pride 10K Run, were very proud this week to present a cheque to the Albert Kennedy Trust for £2,500, which was raised during the event.
Co-Presidents Derek Clark and Nikki McKnight presented the cheque to Jonathan Penny from the AKT before LFR's regular Monday night run from St Thomas' Hospital.
Since inception the Pride Run has raised over £23,000 for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) charities.
All the proceeds from each race are donated to a chosen charity. This year, London Frontrunners members selected The Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) as their chosen charity.
