Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a barrister specialising in clinical negligence and personal injury at 12 King's Bench walk. I am running for FRU as I strongly believe in fair access to justice for all, regardless of means. FRU provides legal advice and representation to those who cannot afford it and, therefore, cannot get proper access to justice. They are often the most vulnerable and the most in need. The recent deep cuts to legal aid spending make FRU's services even more vital today.

This is my first marathon and so I am both excited and terrified!
