Working on the frontline, we provide legal support to prisoners unable to pay for it themselves. We promote the rule of law around the world, and secure each person’s right to a fair trial. In doing so we save lives.

My story

Monday 27th April Finishing time was 3:03:23, a bit short of the target but still a personal best marathon time (and I was the 1111th man to finish). Many thanks for all the donations; I have been quite taken by the level of support for Reprieve.

Reprieve does a difficult job representing prisoners on Death Row in America, as well as those unlucky souls spirited away by the Americans to secret prisons around the world, and to Guantanamo Bay. For this they receive little positive support from the media, so I thought my third crack at the London Marathon was a good opportunity to channel a little money in their direction.

I suggest that the amount you wish to donate is doubled if I finish inside 3 hours. This will provide a suitable incentive to get a move on.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Reprieve gets your money faster and Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
