I am running the 2013 New York Marathon for Amnesty International. I am not a runner: I am 51 and overweight. This blog will track my journey to marathon-fitness as well as record my steps towards creating a better world: one where justice, freedom and dignity are not the birthright of a privileged few, but the deeply-held vision for all.
That's me on an early training run in Byron Bay when I weighed over 100 kg.

Violence against women must stop!
It was so sad to learn that the 23-year-old girl who was gang-raped and severely beaten on a bus in New Delhi died yesterday.
I can only hope her loss will catalyse some positive action to stop violence against women. Every day, thousands of women and girls are abused and murdered. We must do anything we can to prevent such horrible and senseless violence. Anything.
