This is now the fourth year that my ageing, non-too-athletic frame will the trekking the around 50 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

It’ll be hard work but well worth it if I can raise money for a charity which provides a service that no one else does. The victims of torture and organised violence come to this country in need of help and that’s exactly what Freedom from Torture gives them.

I know I’ve asked for money in the past but the torture which creates the victims is still with us, so I would ask you once again to please dig deep and donate to this fantastic charity. Thanks
