Story

I’m really looking forward to my half marathon in April!
I hope to raise £5,000 for the “Home Instead” charity that is very dear to my heart.
“Home Instead”, formerly known as the “Big Joy Foundation” provides grants to local community activities and support for older people and people with dementia. The arrange day trips, cafe outings and interactive activities to brighten and enhance the lives of their clients.
Before the pandemic, I was just “Sylwia”. I was privileged to care for my clients, my colleagues, for my office team and for my family and friends as well as I was able. But when Covid 19 struck, I realised that in order to do this in the best possible way, I needed to be fit and healthy.
I took a good look in the mirror and didn’t really approve of what I saw! It was time for me to get moving! 
With no previous running experience, I started with the “Couch to 5k” app. I can now run considerable distances comfortably and have lost 60kg.
“Home Instead” is a lifeline for old people and dementia sufferers. I have such great plans for its future!
Please, please help me to realise my dreams by clicking on the secure link below.
Thank from the bottom of my heart.
