I am raising money for Age UK Milton Keynes by running the Milton Keynes marathon on Monday 5th May 2025. Age UK Milton Keynes is an independent local charity that works with and for older people to make a real and positive difference that contributes to their wellbeing and quality of life.

One of the biggest challenges that I feel is faced by the older population is loneliness and isolation. Age UK Milton Keynes helps to support older people in some of these challenges through offering befriending and social support, help with shopping, lunch clubs, information and advice, support with benefits, and home from hospital services.

Why I’m running a marathon- whilst I find running challenging, I am excited to take on a new challenge by running the Milton Keynes marathon (my home city!), particularly with the opportunity to raise money for Age UK Milton Keynes, knowing the brilliant work they do and how helpful donation money will be.

Every donation will be used to contribute to the work Age UK Milton Keynes does, in helping support older people. Thank you so much in advance for your support, it is truly appreciated!
