Thanks for visiting
My name is Ed and I work for CSW, an organisation that advocates for freedom of religion and belief for all. In a moment of madness I have decided to run a marathon to raise money for their amazing work.
CSW works in many countries across the world, for example in Burma and North Korea, where they campaign for human rights for all and call for an end to crimes against humanity.

In Burma, CSW have been active in raising awareness of the plight of many ethnic and religious minorities living in the more remote regions. For example the Muslim Rohingya who are denied citizenship and routinely discriminated against by the regime, also the many ethnic Christian groups who have been subject to a brutal campaign of suppression by the Burma Army.
I had the chance to visit the Kachin people in Northern Burma during January when I heard many horrific testimonies of murder, torture and rape, you're money will help CSW in its work to bring to light these crimes and hold the regime accountable.
How can I help?
Cheer me on (but not in a loud, startling way, that might cause some sort of accident), leave a helpful comment on my blog, send me an encouraging tweet or give the youtube videos a good favouriting. Or just rub your computer screen if you can't be bothered with any of that. It might not do any good but it can't do any harm.
