Running and social justice ?! Dreams do come true

I am super excited to be registered for the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 1st of August this year. A bargain 6 weeks of training and I will be ready to hit the road.

This is my first time fundraising for a race and I am proud to be doing it on behalf of REDRESS.

REDRESS is an international human rights organisation that represents victims of torture and related international crimes to obtain justice and reparation. It brings legal cases on behalf of individual victims of torture and advocates for better laws to provide effective reparations. Through their victim-centred strategic litigation, REDRESS is able to have an impact beyond the individual case to address the root causes of torture and to challenge impunity. 

If you know me, you will probably have heard me go on and on about the necesity of widening access to justice. REDRESS does that in an expert and transparent way. 

Have a look at their website: https://redress.org/
