My story
Dear Friends,
Once again I am running the London 10k this year, hoping to raise a few £'s for a wortwhile cause and hopefully losing a few lbs at the same time.
This year I am running for 'Contact the Elderly' a charity we've supported over the past year. Their cause is not fashionable, but it is valuable; organising regular sunday afternoon tea parties for people over 75, who live with little or no social support. I've seen first hand the benefits of this work; and the positive impact it has on older people who are often isolated and lacking in confidence.
Research carried out over the last few decades has consistently shown that 10% of older people feel always or very lonely. Recent estimates place the number of people aged over 65 who are often or always lonely at over 1 million.
Some stats from The Campaign to End Loneliness show the extent of the problem.
- 7% of older people are in contact with family, friends and neighbours less than once a week and 11% are in contact less than once a month
- Over half (51%) of all people aged 75 and over live alone
- Half of all older people (about 5 million) say the television is their main company
Clearly this is a big issue; and Contact the Elderly's work is a small part of the wider solutions needed to redress this social need. But, their work does make a difference and it's an organisation and a cause I am proud to support.
I hope you will join me in supporting them too.
Thank you.
Damian

The charity may not be fashionable, but thankfully you are. As you've raised more than double your target, you have to run twice as fast now.
