I love running! Over lock down I managed to get my distance up to around 14km and at a pretty speedy pace. I run weekly, and aim to get in a couple of 10km runs a month. A half marathon will be an incredible challenge and I'm running for an incredible cause. 

For me, running is a privilege! It keeps me active and does wonders for my mental health, but I am not running from anything in particular. For some people, running is a necessity. They flee from torture, harm and unlawful prosecution. Freedom From Torture supports survivors of torture, offers them safety and assists them in managing and overcoming their trauma.

Freedom from Torture is the only UK-based human rights organisation dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of torture survivors. Your support could help provide counselling, group therapy and ongoing support for survivors of torture. Your donation will help give someone hope and strength on their journey to recovery. We’d love to keep in touch, if you would like to receive our email updates, please take a moment to sign up here: www.freedomfromtorture.org/signupThank you for standing with torture survivors.
