It has been just over a decade since I slipped on my running shoes in anger, and over the last few months I have enjoyed getting back out there again - albeit everything is a bit creakier and slower moving than it used to be!

I am raising money for Listening Ears; a wonderful small charity which does fantastic work looking after a significant number of individuals affected by loneliness.

A lot of attention is paid to physical illnesses and increasingly these days to mental illness, but isolation isn’t necessarily the cause or result of an identifiable disease. Nevertheless, the effects can be profound, but so too can the impact of charities like Listening Ears. Do please have a look at their website and donate if you can.
