Age UK Hull and East Yorkshire
Julie Mills is raising money for Age UK Hull
Story
Many of you may have noticed that I’ve participated in several 10K runs recently, each for different reasons—anniversaries, a bit of fun, and maybe a touch of madness! On June 8th, I’ll be running the Hull 10K for a cause close to my heart: Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire.
As we grow older, it's essential to have the support of family, friends, the NHS, and social care. However, there are times when we need a bit more help, and that’s where Age UK can make a difference.
I would truly appreciate it if you could spare a fiver for this incredible charity. Your support will not only help a great cause but also motivate me to achieve my personal best!
Thank you so much
