Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I love running and have always done it for fun (but never done a full 5K) to improve my mood.  I’ve never felt like running for charity until I heard about Vintage Vibes.  I had never heard of the organisation, then I have come across it now 3 times in the past couple of weeks, so too much of a coincidence not to do anything about it.

I have seen first hand how loneliness and isolation in people over 65 can have such a negative impact on their mental health.  I hope whatever I can raise can help this charity grow and help more people.
