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…....
