Story

FRU is a fantastic organisation, providing advice and representation where it is needed most, to those who cannot afford to pay and in tribunals where legal aid is not available.  As a student lawyer, I gained so much from the opportunity to make such a positive difference to people facing legal proceedings they found so stressful.  I am delighted to continue supporting FRU in its brilliant work.

Last year I swam 1 mile in the Serpentine for FRU.  Having found the water to be less unpleasant than expected, and dodging the swans (who were apparently oblivious to the hundreds of swimmers) only slightly terrifying, this year I have set myself the more significant challenge of swimming 2 miles.  All encouragement much appreciated.
