I’m making a second attempt on the Edinburgh marathon on May 29th, hoping to beat my 2019 self. Back in lockdown in May 2020 we did a family sponsored challenge in support of IJM, and this year I’m joining up with some Edinburgh marathon runners to support them again, particularly to support their work to protect Ukrainian refugees from people trafficking.

There are over 40million people in slavery globally today. This ranges from forced labour to people trafficking, cybersex trafficking and other horrific situations where men, women and children are held and used against their will. 

International Justice Mission have a vision to see an end to this kind of abuse IN OUR LIFETIME!

They work with local police and investigators to identify and rescue vulnerable people. They work with local services and volunteers to provide for and support those rescued for as long as they need and they work with lawyers and justice systems to bring the perpetrators to justice and break their lines of control.
