As a 75 year old member of both these organisations I have decided to help raise funds for the two charities by walking 3 miles each day round my retirement village. I intend to do this for six months walking a distance of 600 miles. We are living in difficult and strange times just now, and I wish to play my part in trying to raise funds so that these charities can continue to support the community.
