Story

You can make a huge difference to survivors of torture by supporting Redress. It is a London-based NGO which works directly with individuals and groups to achieve justice and reparation, by finding practical solutions for complex legal problems and enabling people to assert their rights. Torturers and their kind are cowards - they attack the weak and defenceless. They can be stopped by firm action, including fighting back in public and through the testimony of their victims.

Redress is a small charity and it needs as much support as possible. Your generosity will be hugely appreciated and will make a real difference to the people whom Redress helps.

The chap in the picture is not me. I wear clothes & shoes when I run & don't have a beard. He is Pheidippides who ran from Marathon to Athens in 490BC to announce the Greek victory over the Persians.
