Hundreds of runners pounded the streets for the annual Heroes Run on Brighton and Hove seafront on Sunday morning (May 13).

They were raising money in aid of RISE UK, a Brighton-based charity which helps survivors of domestic abuse.

Kelly-Marie Blundell, senior fundraising officer for RISE, said: “Domestic abuse is everyone’s business. It takes a lot of courage to get support, which ties in with being a hero.”
