Story

My experience of old age is (so far) limited to watching from the sidelines.  But I’m in training, and one day, I want to be old.  I’m not sure I want to wear purple, but I do want to enjoy myself.

I’ve made a start by taking up running.  And although getting fitter seems to mean that every muscle aches, I’ve definitely caught the bug.  Against all the odds, I like it.

And so now it’s happened – I’m running the Virgin London Marathon.  With luck, I’ll run myself a bit closer to a healthy old age, and in the process, I’ll gather some funds so that if things don’t work out, and my old age is less than perfect, there’ll be someone there for me – and for anyone else who needs a hand.

I hope you’ll help me along the way.
