The London Legal Walk was, as always, a big success for the London Legal Support Trust (LLST), with more than 9,000 attending, and now it’s time to lace up your trainers for Walk the Thames! Some people run it, some walk it, some cycle and some people bring their dogs. However you want to travel, this half marathon or full marathon (as you prefer) on 3 October, to be led by Mr Justice Haddon-Cave, will raise vital funds for legal advice charities through the LLST.
