I'm running the Royal Parks half for the charity Standout.

Standout work with prisoners in a number of prisons within London, helping them to prepare to leave prison, and to break the cycle of reoffending.

Criminal justice and rehabilitation are something that is close to my heart having worked in the Ministry of Justice for five years within the prison and probation service.

The justice system is under extreme pressure, is often overlooked within our public discourse and deserves a lot more of our attention and support.

I think you can tell a lot about how a country is by how it treats it prisoners and criminals and I think that we have a long way to go to make sure that we are not failing those who are put in the state's care.
