Hi there

Sincere thanks for all your support and donations for my charity ASICS British 10k London run (http://www.thebritish10klondon.co.uk/) on behalf of Contact the Elderly on 11th July. I managed to complete the run in 58 minutes so achieved my goal in getting there in under an hour. If you haven't already sponsored me it is still not too late and the money will go to a deserving cause. Contact the Elderly, for whom I am a Volunteer tea party host, are the only national charity solely dedicated to fighting loneliness and acute isolation in old age. There are currently 370 groups throughout the UK with more than 3000 older people in these groups and the charity organise regular, monthly tea parties on a Sunday afternoon in the homes of their volunteers.  These outings are a ray of light in the lives of older people living alone; giving them something to look forward to, in the knowledge that someone cares and the opportunity to make new and lasting friendships with fellow guests and also with the volunteers. Check out their website at:- http://www.contact-the-elderly.org.uk/
