Paris Marathon 2013 · 7 April 2013 ·

Torture tries to destroy lives. We won't let it. We stand with survivors, providing therapy and support, and fighting for change together.

Story

One footballer and a couch potato. Neither of us likes running…

We'll be aching, sweating disgustingly, our bodies are going to be screaming to stop moving immediately (it'll probably be Andy who's going to do the screaming). Apparently we'll throw up. We'll be delirious, more than usual. But we'll keep running because there's no way we're not crossing that finishing line where the medics will be waiting for us.
            
We have been boring our friends and families with our running stories to the point that all of you have been afraid to bring up the subject in the past months. But everything is for a good cause because we are running for Freedom From Torture – a wonderful charity, the only one in the UK dedicated solely to the treatment and rehabilitation of survivors of torture. Since its inception, over 50,000 individuals have been referred for help. Thanks to the dedication of staff and volunteers – as well as scores of passionate supporters and funders – thousands of torture survivors have been able to rebuild their lives in incredibly difficult circumstances.

So please donate, every pound will help.

Thanks!

Andrea & Simon
