<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>I'm doing this challenge in support of Age Concern Morgannwg and of my friend, Rachel, who's the CEO there. I moved to Wales a few years ago and really want to do something to raise money for such a great cause. Each year, Age Concern Morgannwg helps over 15,000 older people to improve their quality of life but they can't do such great work without your help. Here's how your donation will help:</p>
