Raising money for

Help the Aged

Charity Registration No. 272786

Help the Aged is an international charity dedicated to creating a world where older people can live their lives free from poverty, isolation and neglect. It raises public awareness, campaigns for changes in policy, and provides practical support to help disadvantaged older people lead independent lives. Help the Aged believes that older people should not be sidelined by society, but should be able to live with dignity as valued, respected and involved members of their communities.

On 1 April 2009, Age Concern England and Help the Aged joined together to create a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.

Operating under the name ‘Age Concern and Help the Aged’, we speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.

My story

Those of you who know me well, will be aware that "excercise" for me over the past few years has either been a slow stroll around a golf course or jumping up and down on a sunlounger in Spain with one hand in the air.....so you'll be as surprised as I am that I have signed up to the Great North Run (did someone mention 13 miles??!) which is now only a month away on September 20th.

I have never, ever been a runner so I've experienced a whole new world of getting up before midday at weekends, spending a fortune on socks and trying to combat extreme bordom on the treadmill but... so far, so good and the training is going well.

My chosen charity is Age Concern/Help the Aged who provide fantastic support and activity network to the over 50's, helping with financial and health issues and encouraging participation in fitness activities.....so really I am just investing for all of our futures!!

Please, please sponsor me to help me reach that finish line, I know that there are always lots of sponsorship requests so any amount you can spare will truly be much appreciated.

thanks,

Sarah xx
