We’re delighted to introduce David Gardner, a barrister at No5 Barristers’ Chambers, and Laura Keith, a newly qualified solicitor at Tozers LLP, who will be taking on the TCS London Marathon for LawCare next year.
On Sunday 25 April 2027, David and Laura will run 26.2 miles through London to raise money to support our work with people across the legal sector.
More about David
David is a barrister and has seen through his work just how important the right mental health support can be. He wants to help make sure people working in law know that support is there when they need it.
I am thrilled to be running the London Marathon 2027 for LawCare. LawCare are well known in legal circles as an amazing charity that helps lawyers by providing support and advice around their mental health.
With my work in mental capacity and mental health cases I come to know so many brilliant people who experience mental health challenges. That experience is not confined to the Court room. So many great lawyers experience mental health challenges and need this support so badly, as well as feeling like they can and should reach out when they need it.
I am so pleased I can support LawCare by running for them. I will put the time and training in. I hope friends, family, and colleagues feel they can give a little to support LawCare.
– David
More about Laura
Laura is a newly qualified solicitor and knows first-hand how much it can help to have support when things are difficult. She’s running for LawCare after we supported her early in her career.
I have decided to run the London Marathon in 2027 in support of LawCare after having seen their impact first-hand, I know how vital their support is for lawyers and legal professionals across the UK. As a NQ solicitor, I understand completely how significant the pressures of working in law can be.
LawCare not only offers a wide range of personal support to individuals, but they also advocate for systemic improvements. Through targeted training, education, and research, they work directly with professional bodies to pave the way for cultural transformation within the UK legal industry.
