Raising money for

Help the Aged

Charity Registration No. 272786

Help the Aged is an international charity dedicated to creating a world where older people can live their lives free from poverty, isolation and neglect. It raises public awareness, campaigns for changes in policy, and provides practical support to help disadvantaged older people lead independent lives. Help the Aged believes that older people should not be sidelined by society, but should be able to live with dignity as valued, respected and involved members of their communities.

On 1 April 2009, Age Concern England and Help the Aged joined together to create a new charity dedicated to improving the lives of older people.

Operating under the name ‘Age Concern and Help the Aged’, we speak with one voice on behalf of all older people.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Having a quiet drink with friends one day, someone suggested a bike ride - "I'm up for that" I thought! A few days later I was reminded I'd agreed to a coast to coast ride of 140 miles! So on April 4th - 7th (strangely not the 1st) I'll be setting off from Whitehaven in the West to Sunderland in the East on my bike.

In order to find a reason for getting out of bed on winter Sunday mornings to train for this feat (2 miles is my normal bike ride) - a worthy cause was needed, so I've no backing out now! Wish me luck :) & thanks for the support - m

** training update - we've trained every Sunday since 25th January + additional days where possible, even in snow, rain & mist, covering over 300 miles to prepare, with the biggest day so far covering 90 miles**

Oh & in answer to Cousin Jacks question below - next week! :)
