Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those of you who don't know me I'm currently on a gap year and while working in London for the next few months I thought entering a race would be a good way to get fit.

A few days into my training I found that that wasn't motivation enough. I wanted to do something that isn't only going to make a difference to my wellbeing but may have the potential to change someones life. And that's how I became a part of Team Amnesty. 

At the risk of sounding like a cliche, I have really experienced the kindness and generosity of strangers. My travels have taught me that it's the small things that can make all the difference and while I have had the good grace to have a prosperous life I know that there are many who can only dream of freedom.

Now it's time to challange and inspire myself and those around me to help a worthy cause. I'm running 10km this summer and hope to raise money and awareness to release three of Burma's 2000+ Political Prisoners. 

Khun Bedu, Khun Kawario and Khun Dee De have been interrogated, tortured and sentenced- without trial, judge or defence. Khun Kawrio and Khun Bedu are sentenced to 37 years and Khun Dee De to 35 years, all for a peaceful protest in which they released balloons and launched paper boats.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please support Team Amnesty, dig deep, donate now and spread the word. 

Thanking you in advance.
