The dash now has a new meaning for me. I'll now be running in memory of my nan who recently passed away. She was surrounded by a big family and had so much love in her life. I know that many older people are not fortunate enough to have that and leave this place isolated and alone. 

Over 1 million older people in the UK are chronically lonely and at this very moment there are over 37,000 older people living in Leeds feeling socially isolated or lonely. Your donations will help Age UK be there for older people who have no one to turn to for advice, support or a listening ear. Thank you for your support.
