Before Christmas last year, my 89 year old Granpa committed suicide. It absolutely destroyed me. Elderly loneliness and depression is real, I lost my Granpa to it. I want to run the London marathon to support Age UK and make my Granpa proud. 

‘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.’
