Hello everyone! 

In July I will be running 10k to raise money for Anti-Slavery International. If you don't know who they are, they are the oldest human rights organisation in the world and do amazing and inspiring work addressing modern forms of slavery (such as human trafficking and bonded labour), which still affect millions of people worldwide and constitute some of the most horrific injustices imaginable (to see just one example, watch the attached video on forced labour in Uzbekistan's cotton production). I hope that I can contribute towards eradicating this crime and helping its victims, even in a small way. 

In light of this being my first ever fundraising effort, I've set myself the modest goal of £200, but every little helps. Also, considering how much of a couch potato I was a few months ago, this will be quite the challenge and any and all support is welcome, and all donations will be appreciated!
