I am running the London Marathon to raise money in order to combat loneliness in older people and to help them enjoy later life.

Most people will feel lonely at some point in their lives. It’s a deeply personal experience that - in most cases - will thankfully pass. Sadly, 3.9 million older people say the TV is their main source of company and 1 million will spend Christmas alone. Donating to this page will help the national Age UK to continue providing vital services that offer companionship, advice and support for millions of older people facing later life alone.

Please dig deep and sponsor me and together, lets make a difference.
