This Spring I will be running the London Landmarks half marathon on April 6th with Amnesty International UK. I have chosen to run with Amnesty International because of the incredible work they do across the globe protecting human rights. The reach of the organisation means they are able to carry out effective campaigning work through their networks. Crucially, 98% of money raised goes directly towards fighting abuses and protecting human rights rather than operational costs.

As a woman with access to education, the freedom to pursue my ambitions, and the right to express myself, I am deeply grateful for privileges that millions of women around the world are still denied. Recent global events have underscored just how fragile these freedoms are. From the erasure of women’s rights in Afghanistan to the courageous protests in Iran, and the continued erosion of protections in places like the U.S. during Trump’s presidency, the campaign for women’s rights is as important as ever.

Thank you for your donations to this important cause. I am super excited for the race!
