Team Abbott Nutrition is running the London Marathon 2013 to help raise funds for YouthNet and Age UK’s ‘Run for it’ intergenerational project to help end isolation and loneliness.

 

It’s hard to believe that in the UK today, over one million older people have not seen another person in over a month. Too many feel desperately lonely, out of touch with modern life and cut off from the rest of society. And all too often, with isolation come other issues such as malnutrition. While malnutrition affects people of all ages, it is significantly more common in older adults – 1 in 3 older people living independently is at risk of malnutrition.

 

So please dig deep and help us support this worthy cause so that we can bring generations together to help end loneliness, isolation and malnutrition.
