I'm running the London Landmark Half Marathon to support Home Instead Charities in their mission to end loneliness and isolation in ageing adults.
Loneliness in ageing adults can increase the risk of dementia and other age related illness by up to 40%. The risk of being depressed also increases dramatically as we age.
Home Instead Charities provides safe, warm spaces for ageing adults to make new friends, socialise, learn new skills such as crafting or using technology. These activities help to keep people mentally well and agile, physically fit, and emotionally connected ensuring older people live, thrive, and contribute to their community.
Your support is not only appreciated but vital to the wellbeing of our ageing communities.
