2010 British 10K London run · 11 July 2010 ·

Acid violence is a particularly vicious form of premeditated violence, where acid is thrown usually at the face to disfigure, maim and blind, but not to kill. We provide medical expertise and training to 6 partner organisations, raise valuable funds to support survivors and help to change laws.

Story

In July I will be running 10Km in London for ASTI (Acid Survivors Trust International) to provide help for victims of Acid Burn attacks.  I am hoping to raise over £500 to go towards their cause.

I am sure very few of you will know about this terrible phenomenon, perhaps some of you may have heard of Katie Piper in the UK?  Tragically this happens around the world mostly stemming from domestic violence, usually against women but also there are cases with children, older women and men. I don’t think I need to explain the effects this can have on its victims.  Not only will the money go towards rehabilitating and supporting the burns victims but through their campaigning and co-operating with National Governments the numbers of these horrific attacks can be substantially reduced.

It is not an enormous distance so if you would like to additionally give me a realistic challenge on a time please feel free and I will be happy to give it a go .  I will soon be undergoing time trials, which I will publish here soon…....
