Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The idea of a walking challenge popped into our heads one day whilst humming the Proclaimers hit "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)". Pauline from our Love Later Life team is a proud Scot and went to the same school as the band. A great supporter of Age UK Merton, Pauline thought she'd rope in her teammates to take on a challenge to raise money to help local older people. We also wanted to promote active ageing and encourage our clients to stay as active as possible throughout the winter months.

So as a team we're going to be donning the step counters and making sure we walk 500 miles between now and Christmas... If we do as well as we think we'll do, we're going to see if we can walk 500 more! 

This will take our total to 1,000 miles in total and we'd love for you to donate some money to help us on our way.
