The London Legal Support Trust (LLST) is looking forward to its first in-person event of the year, with Walk the Thames scheduled to take place on Saturday 22 May.
Undertaken as either a full marathon or one of two half marathons, runner and walkers have already signed up for the event in droves to raise vital funds for access to justice and legal advice. While the 2020 event was unable to take place, Walk the Thames 2019 included 300 participants and raised £23,000.
This year, Lord Justice Haddon-Cave will lead the full marathon, and Sir Peter Gross will be walking the half marathon. The morning leg will start at 9am at More London Riverside, and the second half marathon will begin at 12pm in Putney and conclude in Hampton Court.
LLST CEO Nezahat Cihan commented: ‘We would like to thank everyone who has signed up a team, or joined Team LLST to walk the route on the 22 May. We have taken every possible step to ensure the event will be safe and enjoyable for all. Even with optimism that the end of the pandemic is on the horizon, the need for free legal advice is still increasing and funds are still desperately needed.’
There is no registration fee, and no minimum fundraising target. Sign up for Walk the Thames 2021 at www.londonlegalsupporttrust.org.uk/our-events/walk-the-thames-2021/.
