My story

 

I love stats, here are some to consider:

1 - Race
2 - Pairs of trainers
4.5 - Hours (race)
26.2 - Miles (race)
100 - Hours (training)
690 - Miles (training)
39000 - Steps (race)
1035000 - Steps (training)
2200000 - Pensioners in UK live in poverty
3500000 - Elderly people live alone

which figures do you find the most astonishing?


Food for thought
It's an unpalatable truth that in this country many older people are not treated with the dignity they deserve‚ and are often left isolated from their community. Age Concern believes this is not acceptable.

The money I raise with your help will help to improve the quality of life of many lonely older people.

  • £5 could pay for a hot meal at a lunch club providing vital companionship
  • £10 could pay for an older person to take part in a social activity such as an exercise class or a group outing
  • £1000 could provide an isolated older person with a befriender visit once a week for an entire year - a vital lifeline for many older people

    Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Age Concern England gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

    So please sponsor me now!
