Jersey’s Own John Clacy Laces Up for Charity at the Brighton Marathon

In a display of endurance and philanthropy, John Clacy, the esteemed head of Deloitte UK Financial Services Portfolio Audit, is set to conquer the Brighton Marathon. This isn’t just a test of physical might; it’s a stride for a cause. Clacy is running to support Grow, a charitable initiative under Deloitte’s Five Million Futures program. The Brighton Marathon, a prestigious event only eclipsed by London and Edinburgh in the UK, beckons on Sunday, 7 April 2024. Participants will embark on a scenic yet grueling 26.2-mile journey, starting at Preston Park and weaving through Withdean, with the goal of crossing the finish line for more than just personal glory.
