The 10km walk through central London this week looked likely to raise a record-breaking £1m for legal advice charities and not-for-profits in London and the South-East. The event, now in its 19th year, is a fixture in the legal calendar, uniting the legal profession and all those who work in the law, whether legal publishers, Supreme Court Justices, law centre volunteers, solicitors, silks, lawyers, paralegals, IT professionals or City partners.
This year, 1,000 teams took part, with a total of 16,000 walkers donning sun hats and trainers for the scenic city trek. The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Chancellor, Director of Public Prosecutions and others in leadership roles led the walk, starting off from Carey Street near Chancery Lane amid scorching temperatures.
Susanna McGibbon, Treasury solicitor, said: ‘It’s a great way to catch up with colleagues from across the legal sector while supporting a common cause.’
