I am running a half marathon as part of the Cleary Gottlieb team to raise funds for Toynbee Hall, a charity based in East London which aims to reduce poverty and make society fairer through the provision of education, support and free legal advice.

Together with many of the other women at Cleary Gottlieb, I have volunteered as an advisor at the monthly women's free legal advice clinic at Toynbee Hall.

Over 20 staff members from Cleary Gottlieb will be running 5k, 10k or a half marathon on 2nd December in Victoria Park.
