Dear all

I'm doing a 50km walk, halfway to Cambridge from London, which will take approx 9 hours, argh! Not even sure how to train for walking. If it's a sunny day, you're welcome to come along to support and shout things at me as I slowly limp past...

I love this charity - they arrange events for elderly people and young volunteers so that everyone can socialise together.  It gets lonely people out of the house, shows them that they are still an important part of the community and how to have fun London-style.  I've been volunteering with elderly people for a few years now as I felt awful that I couldn't visit my own Nana up north, but was grateful for those people - like her hairdresser - who took the time to visit, chat and care about her.  So I paid it back by visiting a house-bound lady down here in London (remember gorgeous orange-haired Johanna who came to my 30th?!). 

So please sponsor me: £20 could help fund a Social Club – such as a movies night or games afternoon – from start to finish.

(And for you Sarf Londoners, there's South London Cares too!)

Thanks

Catherine
