I'm Running to Help End the Abuse of Older People – London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026

In April 2026, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes and taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon — not just for the challenge, but to support a cause that matters deeply.

I’m running for Hourglass, the only UK charity solely focused on ending the abuse and neglect of older people and promoting safer ageing. It’s shocking to know that 1 in 5 people over 60 experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation. That’s why in a small way, I want to help.

Every pound raised will go directly to Hourglass’s 24/7 Helpline and Frontline Service Team, which provides vital advice, guidance, and practical support to older people at risk and those who care about them. With over 17,000 contacts made to their Helpline each year, your support helps ensure someone is always there to listen and help.

Please donate if you can — together we can take steps toward a safer future for older people across the UK.
