Paris Half Marathon · 5 March 2023

Across the country, Kissing it Better's imaginative healthcare projects enhance the lives of older people in hospitals, care homes and the community. Our work gives young people the chance to show what they can do to make a difference - so the young feel valuable and the old feel valued.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 5th March 2023 Lucy and I will be running the Paris Half Marathon.  Well to be more precise Lucy will be running and I will be shuffling.  I can safely say that running is not exactly natural to me and this will definitely be a 'one time gig'!

Kissing it Better is however a wonderful enduring charity bringing generations together by designing affordable volunteer projects that give young people training and a framework to connect with older, vulnerable people in hospitals, care homes and the community.   

In these times when both young and old can struggle with feelings of isolation and a lack of connection to our communities, it is a win win;  volunteers build confidence, learn new skills, make new friends and improve both their own well-being and that of older people. 

I would be so grateful for your support, it will help me, my knees and my hips find the will to complete those final kilometres for a great cause!!

Thank you

Jo
