Employees of two Worcester companies have completed a 10-mile charity run to raise money for a children's cancer charity.

Accountancy firm Ballards LLP and Four Squared Recruitment ran from Droitwich to Worcester in support of the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust.

The charity was founded in 2016 in memory of four-year-old Grace Kelly, who died of a rare form of cancer.

The trust funds research into rare and aggressive childhood cancers and provides support to families.

James Syree, CEO of the accountancy firm, said: "Our colleagues have shown extraordinary determination and compassion by completing this challenging 10-mile run.

"This is more than just a physical challenge; it's a testament to our firm's commitment to making a meaningful difference in our community and supporting critical research into childhood cancer."

Emma Richardson, managing director of the recruitment firm, said: "Supporting local charities is at the heart of our company's values.

"By partnering with Ballards LLP for this charity run, we're not just raising funds, but also raising awareness for an incredibly important cause that directly impacts families in our local community."

Sophie Blount, communications officer at the trust, said: "We have been blown away by the enthusiasm and creativity behind Ballards' fundraising efforts this year.

"The funds they have raised for children facing cancer are helping to make a difference when they need it most, and we are so thankful to all staff who are taking part."
