Is it possible to train for a marathon and raise £2,000 in 3 weeks. Probably not, but life would be dull otherwise.

I took up running a few years ago to battle the effects of a career spent behind my desk and in Court as a litigation lawyer. I already have 2 marathons under my belt (or should that be belly) - Edinburgh 2013 and Berlin 2014.

My firm DLA Piper and UNICEF have a unique global alliance and I will post more links to the fantastic work we have done together.

I should have started training and fundraising months ago but life and work got in the way. So here I am 3 weeks to go, squeaky bum time, time to go for it or be sensible and call it a day. I was never one for the sensible option, so let's get cracking.

DLA will match every pound raised, the ultimate 2 for 1 deal.

If you want to help children around the world, see me succeed or die trying or simply make a global law firm stump up some cash - there is only one thing to do. 

Please donate generously and make a difference.

Thank you,

Alistair.
