I'm taking on the London Marathon 2020 for Independent Age
Fundraising for Independent Age
I am running my very first full marathon on behalf of Independent Age...
More than 1 million older people say they are often or always lonely. As well as feeling cut off from friends and family, it can mean that when difficulties arise, they feel they have no one to turn to. Independent Age provides regular visits and telephone calls for older people from caring volunteers. They also help with worries older people might be facing whether theyre about finances, mobility, or other day-to-day issues, so they dont have to cope with difficulties alone. www.independentage.org
