Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As some of you may know, this year I am running the London Marathon for the REDRESS Charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>REDRESS is an international non-governmental organisation which helps suvivors of torture obtain justice and works to ensure that those than perpetrate torture are held accountable.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The organisation was founded in 1992 by Keith Carmichael, a British torture survivor who started REDRESS to help torture suvivors obtain what international law says they deserve but what they rarely have access to in practice: adequate and enforceable remedies and reparation for the harm they suffered.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you would like to know some more about the amazing work undertaken by REDRESS, please visit their website at <a href="http://www.redress.org">www.redress.org</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have agreed to try and raise &pound;1,200 for REDRESS by running the London Marathon. In order to add a bit of an incentive to potential donors, I have also agreed that if I reach this target prior to the race, I will run the marathon in (as yet unspecified) fancy dress (all suggestions welcome).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So, any support would be very gratefully received!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Best wishes</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Toby</p>
