Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 25th May I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon and thought someone should at least benefit from my pain! Therefore, I've nominated Contact the Elderly as my chosen charity, due to the fact they do some amazing work arranging tea parties for elderly people in social isolation.

Lonliness in the elderley community is a massive issue that's not often talked about. As well as not being very nice, its also a health risk with a recent study finding social isolation results in a 26% increase in death risk amongst men and women over 52.

I don't have any particular donation targets, but would appreciate any support you could give. If you're interested, more information on Contact the Elderly and the great work they do can be found here: http://www.contact-the-elderly.org.uk/

Thanks!
