London Marathon  Madness

Better late than never … ever since arriving in London, I have wanted to participate in the London Marathon.  After a failed ballot attempt for this year's race, Help the Aged came to my rescue and offered me a place on their team.  Now I have the added advantage of both participating in the marathon whilst at the same time, raising funds for a very worthwhile international charity.

Help the Aged aim to secure and uphold the rights of disadvantaged older people around the world.  Their key goals are to: combat poverty, reduce isolation, challenge neglect, defeat ageism and prevent future deprivation.  For more information, visit the charity’s website at: www.helptheaged.org.uk or email them at: info@helptheaged.org.uk.
