Six Teams by Old Square Chambers raised money for FRU by participating in the 2013 Virgin Active London Triathlon.
If raising £5711 wasn't enough of a challenge - out of 255 teams entered, two of chambers teams came in the top ten:
• Team 2 (Michael Ford QC, Andrew, Andre Midgely and Ben Cooper) came 4th overall.
• Team 6 (Simon Cheetham, Dan Schaffer and Ralph Robinson) came 9th overall.
Solicitors taking part in the six teams came from, Berwin Leighton, Bircham Dyson Bell, Herbert Smith, Unison, Rahman Lowe, Rumm Law, TSols, Emm Law, Penningtons, and Fox Whitfield.

If that was not enough, Andrew Midgely then jumped straight back in the water to compete in the individual event coming 165 out of a field of over 2000.
FRU wants to say a big Thank You to all those who were involved.
We are asking people to join Management Committee members George Miller and Madeline Stanley in walking the Thames on 5th and 6th October 2013.
Walk the Thames is a two day event organised by the London Legal Trust which allows participants the opportunity to take part at a level which is suitable for them.
Miles Beckwith, Performer said "Taking part in 'Benthams got talent' was great fun. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and everyone seemed up for a good night. It's nice to know that the whole thing was in aid of the FRU, which is a great cause. The money raised comes at a crucial time and it is fundraising events like this that will safeguard everyone's right to representation."
Jack Palmer-Coole, Organiser, UCL Law Society Pro Bono Officer 2012-2013 said "The money raised by the Talent Show was donated to FRU as we felt that it was a most worthy cause to aid as a student body and more importantly to promote amongst the student body. The faculty already has strong links with FRU and it was clear that FRU has committed time and effort to allow UCL Law Students to experience Pro Bono and wider opportunities and therefore is something the UCL Law Society and myself wanted to thank them for."
