It's a short triathlon, a Super Sprint, 400m swim (in a cold lake!), 14km bike ride and 2.9km run. Been meaning to do a triathlon all my adult life and so it's about time to put thought into action! 

In my legal work I have been hugely impressed by the charity, Medical Justice, which does invaluable work, offering essential medical help for the most powerless in society. About 30,000 people a year are held in indeterminate immigration detention in the UK. Many detainees have suffered torture or ill treatment, have significant and chronic health problems, are disabled, and a few may be pregnant, or have been detained for prolonged periods of time without any prospect of release or removal. Being detained indefinitely itself causes serious health problems. Many independent reports and legal judgements provide evidence of the inadequate healthcare provided in detention centres, especially for those with mental health problems.

Medical Justice’s clinicians document detainees’ scars of torture to assist in their asylum claims and challenge medical mistreatment of those held in detention. These cases provide the evidence for research, publications and campaigns for lasting improvements for detainees.
