A MESSAGE FROM Emma Trim - NYC Half Marathon Fundraising
Hi friends!
I'm running my second NYC half-marathon March 20th and am running with the non-profit group The Innocence Project. I am hoping to meet my fundraising goal of $1500 and would appreciate any amount to help me get there.
A little more about the incredible project below--
The Innocence Project — which was founded in
1992 at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law — is the first legal organization
in America to systematically apply DNA testing to prove innocence. To
date, 375 people have been exonerated with DNA testing and the Innocence
Project has provided direct representation and/or critical assistance in
231 cases. How we accomplish our work:
Our Legal and Intake departments work to
exonerate those who have been wrongfully convicted. Our Strategic Litigation
department works to improve case law through targeted legal work. Our
Policy department works to pass laws and implement policies that represent
wrongful convictions. Our Social Workers support exonerees as they rebuild
their lives after incarceration.
