<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On the 15th April&nbsp;I will be attempting to&nbsp;run 26.2 miles in my first ever marathon!&nbsp; I'm hoping to raise&nbsp;money for 'Contact the Elderly' - an excellent chartity that helps support vulnerable elderly people through-out the UK.</p> <p>I have previously been involved with this chartity as a volunteer, and witnessed first-hand the great work that they do &amp; support they provide to elderly people.&nbsp; A huge number of elderly people through-out the UK live far from their family and the work that this charity does is a life-saver for them.&nbsp; The charity offers everything from a friendly chat for lonely people, help with organising finances / healthcare,&nbsp;as well as monthly 'tea-parties' which provide a much needed chance to socialise with others from the local area.&nbsp; All of this is done without government assistance so donations are essential for the charity to keep going.</p> <p>Anything you can give would be really appreciated. Thanks!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
