Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On Sunday 13 June 2010 I am taking part in the Tour of Pembrokshire Cycle race, which involves cycling 102km around Pembrokeshire, starting and finishing in Saundersfoot. I have decided to do this to raise money for Asylum Justice, a small charity based in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport which provides free legal advice to asylum seekers. AJ is the only charity that provides this type of service to asylum seekers in Wales, who, for the most part do not qualify for legal advice paid for by the state. They cannot either fund their own legal advice, having usually fled from their country of origin with little or nothing of their possessions. The gap in the provision of legal service to these people means that they have no real chance of gaining access to justice in this country, or have the right to a fair hearing, two rights which I believe passionately that every person should have, regardless of who they are or where they have come from. We are funded entirely by charitable donations. If you are able to give just a little towards this cause therefore, I should be very grateful.Charities pay a small fee for our service.
