My Story

Thank you for sponsoring our Walk-The-Thames 2024. We are walking a half marathon along the river Thames to raise vital funds for the provision of specialist free legal advice.

The funds raised on this page will go to APPEAL.

APPEAL is a charity and law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions and promoting a fairer justice system.

We provide expert holistic assistance for individuals, and their families, who have experienced a miscarriage of justice and who cannot afford to pay for an appeal lawyer.

We take wrongful convictions and unfair sentences to the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Cases Review Commission. We campaign on the wider issues our cases touch upon in order to achieve reform of the criminal justice system. We deploy our expert knowledge to identify particular issues of concern, conduct research and publish our findings.

Please sponsor our walkers as generously as you are able. Every donation makes a big difference. 

Our team is Nadiyah Akoo, Claire Bostock, Cath Snow, Emma Torr.

Many thanks for your support.
