I've been involved in pushing for decent pay and conditions for workers for most of my adult life.

Too often the labour that goes into everyday products - like clothing - is invisible and unrewarded. If you can buy an item of clothing for a few quid are the workers involved in producing it really getting their fair share?

Labour Behind The Label is a great organisation that advocates on behalf of garment workers and I'm very pleased to be a supporter of theirs.

I have a bit of family history here as my dad's parents worked in shoe manufacturing in Leicester - a city where Labour Behind The Label has exposed modern sweatshops.

This years I'm attempting my second ultramarathon - a 50km run along the Suffolk coast. This is also an area that has a lot of history for me - I grew up in Ipswich and have spent a lot of time in places like Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Southwold.

So I'm using this as an opportunity to raise some money for a very good cause. Any contribution would be appreciated!
