As some of you know, I worked for 20 years on the Thai Burma border and throughout that time I always worked with Mae Tao Clinic and Karen Women's Organisation. These two organisations continue to be continual sources of inspiration and awe and the best examples I know of what marginalised communities can do together, despite the denial of their rights and access to resources.

My family has been doing this run for the last 15 years to raise money for the Thai Burma border and now I am actually in Scotland so feel I need to join in.

I also feel a bit mad. I can't run to save myself. I may be walking and crawling much of the way. But what the hell.

If you're in Thailand, please just donate straight to the organisations: Mae Tao Clinic (https://maetaoclinic.org/) and Karen Women's Organisation (https://karenwomen.org/about-2/join-kwo/)
