Alex's fundraising- London Marathon 2009

Alex Jones is raising money for Age UK formerly Age Concern England
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Age UK is the new force combining Age Concern and Help the Aged We believe that age needs respect. It needs kindness. Sometimes it needs help. Too many people experience difficulties as they age. We cannot promise everyone good health, but we will fight for good care for all of us. Where we find loneliness, we will reach out. When age becomes a burden, we will try to lighten the load. Age UK will campaign. We will fundraise. We will research. We will make the powers that be listen. We will do all this to make life better for older people here and abroad. Age UK is for all of us, because age is a part of life.

Story

Thanks for all your support in running the London Marathon. I made it!!

It was a beautiful day in London with thousands lining the route and cheering everyone on. Really neeed this encouragement after 20 miles when I hit the dreaded 'wall'! Have never felt so awful in my entire life! Managed to move through it slowly (very slowly!) and eventually finished in just over 4 hours. Didn't break the 4 hour target, but maybe next year!!

I have been overwhelmed by everyone's support and generosity and am so proud of the amount we've all raised and the challenge I've achieved. Thanks for being part of that.
